I hope you mean init.el. Editing custom.el is one of those "Kids,
these are professional stunt men; don't try this at home!" stunts. Of
course, from your point of view, editing those two files has the same
effect.
Does this include removing individual customize settings by simply
deleting them from the file? I sometimes do that...
However, for XEmacs, they are very different. XEmacs never tries to
edit init.el, so it doesn't matter what you put in there, as long as
it is valid Lisp code. It *does* edit custom.el, and like most
software, it is easily confused by the unexpected, even if it is valid
code.
Why is it called "custom.el" if you're not supposed to customize it?
Because the GUI CUSTOMize system uses it.
Maybe it should be created with a comment to that effect at the top?
Of course, that would only help people who are just starting out with
a new ~/.xemacs, but even so...
