   If I understand right, you said that clicking the Convenience group loads
   fringe.el, which executes a defcustom for fringe-mode, which calls
   set-fringe-mode-1. That means that clicking a _navigational_ button in
   customize has the side effect of changing the default-frame-alist. Not good
   (if I understand right).

Actually, I now saw, by reading through the earlier postings in the
thread, that Richard proposed a patch fixing the problem for
fringe-mode by setting :initialize to `custom-initialize-set' for the
fringe-mode defcustom.

I still do not understand why `custom-initialize-set' is not the
default :initialize function, since `custom-initialize-reset' is
potentially troublesome.

Sincerely,
