This is apparently by design: ---- Note that this function is at heart equivalent to the basic =E2=80=98set=E2= =80=99 function. For a variable defined with =E2=80=98defcustom=E2=80=99, it does not pay at= tention to any :set property that the variable might have (if you want that, use M-x customize-set-variable instead). ---- So I'm closing this bug report. --=20 (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
