Customizing custom-file will fix this:
M-x customize-option RET custom-file RET
I changed mine to ~/.emacs-customize and have
(load (expand-file-name "~/.emacs-customize"))
in my ~/.emacs where I want it, so I can run both 19.34 and 21.1
without confusing 19.34.
IMHO, custom-file should have a prominent mention in the manual and
the top level customize group. I found it by reading cus-edit.el.
IMVHO, the default behavior of customize should be to save to a file
different from user-init-file. When saving, customize would scan
user-init-file looking for (load (expand-file-name "custom-file")).
If it is not found, customize offers to modify user-init-file, with
allowable responses of "yes", "no" and "no and do not ask again" (the
last being saved as a customization). I believe this will make life
easier for both novices and experts new to emacs >19.
