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.
