Subject: Re: Cannot quit Emacs from emacs -Q if something was customized
Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 00:05:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1JFMwg-0005Fz-OU@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <DHEEKFAFJEFOJHLCFPFDOEIFCDAA.drew.adams@oracle.com>

    If, for whatever reason, something calls, say,
    `customize-save-variable' on `kill-emacs-hook', the user cannot quit
    Emacs at all. `customize-save-variable' calls `custom-save-all', which
    calls `custom-file' to get the custom file name, and `custom-file'
    raises an error for emacs -Q (as it should).

Emacs gives you a lot of rope to hang yourself.
I don't think we should worry about this.
