Sorry, I misspoke: I only set it in org. Most of my latex usage is
org->latex->pdf nowadays, so I don't bother to do it from the shell. On
the rare occasions when I do it from the command line, I type the option
explicitly if needed.
My org-latex-pdf-process setting is
(setq org-latex-pdf-process '("texi2dvi --shell-escape --pdf %f"))
and I'm experimenting with
(setq org-latex-pdf-process '("latexmk --shell-escape -pdf -xelatex %f"))
HTH,
Nick
