Obviously, the easiest thing to do is not to rename the file. Actually, if you have backup-by-copying set to nil, custom-file _will_ be renamed when a back-up file is made. But I do not believe that yields any problems. The correct file will still be loaded and written to (and not the backup). Sincerely, Luc.
