Sounds sensible.  The problem is that your poll is "loaded": the
choices are not independent.  I'll try fixing it:

This implies that 1) was answered with "Yes".  So let us replace it
with:

2a) If Appearance is the menu name, move Options=>Blinking Cursor there?
   [ ] Yes  [ ] No

2b) If Show/Hide is the menu name, move Options=>Blinking Cursor there?
   [ ] Yes  [ ] No

This mixes two questions/suggestions.  So this better be:

3) Fix Options=>Save Options to offer to save unsaved Customize
   as suggested by David (below)?

   [ ] Yes  [ ] No

     > ... that "Save Options" would prompt and offer to save also
     > unsaved Options set by "Customize".

4a) If 3 gets implemented, swap the order of "Save Options" and
    "Customize Emacs" to have "Save Options" at the bottom?

   [ ] Yes  [ ] No

4b) If 3 does not get implemented, still swap the order of "Save
    Options" and "Customize Emacs" to have "Save Options" at the
    bottom?

   [ ] Yes  [ ] No


This is a bit more cumbersome, but I think it is less loaded.

Please do.  Not that I had not done a similar thing already...
