Question is "from X" or "from Y"? Good point. I would think it should be Y. If instead of `M-: (setq custom-file "Y")' we set custom-file through Custom, then the up to date Custom Info is _immediately_ in Y, without having to save any further option. (Because saving `custom-file' itself took care of things.) So if somebody _really_ wants to change Custom file during an emacs session (instead of from .emacs) the way to do it is through Custom.
