Long Lines mode is a minor mode, local to each buffer.  So you'll
need to turn it on in every buffer where you want it, which can be
done 2 ways: via major mode hooks or via file visiting hooks.

Here's the first way:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'longlines-mode)
...
(add-hook 'foo-mode-hook 'longlines-mode)

Here's the second way:
(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'longlines-mode)
(add-hook 'find-file-not-found-functions 'longlines-mode)
