Will not work for "Show Standard Value".  Saving will fix that value
in the user's .emacs, overriding later changes to the default and
overriding theme values.  That _may_ be what the user wants.  But he
might also just want to get rid of his customization, by having no
line whatsoever in his .emacs for that option, thereby seeing later
changes to the default and theme values.  Seeing later changes to the
default is especially important for hooks, property lists and
association list, which Custom currently can not really handle
properly (because it uses setq, whereas these options should really be
customized using add-hook and similar).

So you would need at least one extra button.

Sincerely,

Luc.
