Sorry if I wasn't verbose enough, Oliver.  I just tried to copy the
above line generated by xemacs customize into .emacs.el but obviously
this simplistic approach does not work.  Also already tried to use emacs
customize to achieve the same goal but there are obviously
incompatibilities, like the one you mention.

Either way (.emacs.el or customize) would be fine with me.
