(This behavior has been changed relatively recently.) I believe that I will adapt `customize-variable' and `customize-variable-other-window' to follow the new `customize-face(-other-window)' behavior. (This is not done yet.) I do not know whether or not it is important for `set-variable' to be consistent with that. Maybe not. I just wanted to be sure that you are aware of the `customize' situation. Sincerely, Luc.
