--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
 After upgrading to trac 0.9, I moved all my non project specific
 configuration to /usr/share/trac/conf/trac.ini, only leaving a minimal set
 of settings in the environment's configuration files, in the most simple
 case just trac->repository_dir and project->name. Unfortunately, not all
 settings got set for all the environments.

 Examples:

  * I defined a custom field in ticket-custom. The field itself was there,
 but the name wasn't displayed.
  * Using the ldap extension http://trac-hacks.swapoff.org/wiki/LdapPlugin
 doesn't work - the extension gets loaded but is disabled since the
 "enable" setting isn't set properly

 These are just small examples, but all in all, the central trac.ini
 doesn't seem to work - do extensions need to access the settings in a
 different way?
