Ah yes, good point.  I don't like customize mode myself, so I've put all my
modifications into .emacs, after which I call (blosxom-update-wiki-project).
You have found a bug!

You are quite right that customize mode should run the update for you.  I've
added the necessary hair in address@hidden/emacs-wiki--gary--1.0--patch-14
which should save you the manual call to blosxom-update-wiki-project as long
as you do all your customizations from Customize.

Emacs-wiki itself keeps some data structures of variable name/value pairs
so that you can change between projects without losing anything.  Because
emacs-wiki-blosxom is a derived mode, the variables that it changes for
internal use need to be mapped back into those data structures to keep
emacs-wiki informed about what's going on.

The short answer is that you only have to worry about it if you make
customisations by hand in your startup files.  Customize will take care
of it otherwise.

Cheers,
        Gary.
