I use whole buffer buttons only in single option buffers, i.e. buffers created by `customize-option' or `customize-face'. I use them as a fast way to set an option in .emacs. I usually do `C-h v some-variable', read its documentation, type `customize-option', change its default value and invoke `save' on the customization buffer. For face customization, I type `C-u C-x = TAB RET' or `customize-face' on a highlighted character, and then invoke `save' in the face customization buffer. Even if this is a typical way for most people to use Customize, of course this doesn't mean that multi-option group customization buffers should be left in a non-working state for years. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
