When I used customize-set-variable to set some options,
inside init.el, instead of setq, then used the interface to set
some other options, and used the button saying "save for future
sessions," not only options I set in the interface, but also the
ones set before from init.el got written into the
(custom-set-variables) form, effectively causing them to get
duplicated and evaluated twice on the next start of Emacs.
