Stefan -- I *think* that Vim-LaTeX looks for
\usepackage{german} in your TeX and, if found, runs the ~/.vim/ftplugin/latex-suite/packages/german file. That file has in it: let b:Tex_SmartQuoteOpen = '"`' let b:Tex_SmartQuoteClose = "\"'" which sets everything up. I'm guessing that when you open a new buffer, the buffer doesn't look like a TeX file with a \usepackage{german} line in it, so it doesn't automatically get loaded. I think you want to put: let g:Tex_SmartQuoteOpen = '"`' let g:Tex_SmartQuoteClose = "\"'" in your .vimrc. NOTICE THE "g:" instead of a "b:". The "g:" versions are "global," so they'll apply to EVERY TeX that you open. HOWEVER, if that TeX has a \usepackage line that calls a script that sets the "b:" versions to something, those "b:" versions will override your "g:" versions.
