The consensus answer above is good but if you've got problems running queries within stored procedures after fixing your my.cnf file, then try loading your SPs again.

I suspect MySQL must have compiled the SPs with the default only_full_group_by set originally. Therefore, even when I changed my.cnf and restarted mysqld it had no effect on the SPs, and they kept failing with "SELECT list is not in GROUP BY clause and contains nonaggregated column ... which is not functionally dependent on columns in GROUP BY clause; this is incompatible with sql_mode=only_full_group_by".

Reloading the SPs must have caused them to be recompiled now with only_full_group_by disabled. After that, they seem to work as expected.
