I don't know. I just copied it from somewhere. It was not apparent that 
two lines are even needed. Note below the "Running 'XeLaTeX'".

Here's a test document in its entirety:

  %!TEX TS-program = xelatex
  %!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

  \documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article}
  \usepackage{xltxtra}
  \usepackage{xunicode,fontspec}
  \usepackage(csquotes}
  \begin{document}
  body
  \end{document}

When not using the csquotes package, things work (the PDF displays 
"body"). However, with use of this package (or polyglossia) I get an 
error. When I do C-c C-l I get:

  Running `XeLaTeX' on `test-xelatex-document' with ``xelatex test-xelatex-document.tex''

There were no lines at all that contained the string "usepackage". 

I checked the .log file also, and the string was not in it 
either, nor a string "csquotes".

I have no idea why it says "TeX Live 2012" above. I had a TL2011 
installation and all I did was to run tlmgr and did "Update all 
installed". I didn't expect this to install TL2012, but I see that 
tlmgr is the version for 2012. However, I have ~/texlive/2011 (and no 
/usr/local/texlive). If I inadvertantly upgraded to TL2012, I'm not 
surprised I have problems. But If I have TL2012 in a 2011 dirctory, I 
don't know how to fix it.
