What about the following patch which brings the lengths of three first
lines of docstrings below the maximum allowed 67 characters? If it
exceeds that number, it not only looks bad in appropos, but when the
variable is defined with a defcustom, it looks terrible in Custom
buffers. For the three variables in question, the docstrings start
looking really bad in the Lisp Custom group when one ckicks on "More"
to read the entire docstring.
I can install if desired.

These changes are good, but please write "Value for" instead of
"Value of".
