@Sean,
yes, I've put line 44 back in 'environment.rb' and all seems fine.
Now - where i know that development mode gives me instant feedbacks -
i will use development mode during development of my Radiant website
(without doubt that makes sense ...).
Sorry for all the traffic here.
Best regards and a happy new year,
Andreas Semt
P.S.: Is it possible to verify your assumption with the rails console
('script/console')?
