Custom doesn't know about package dependencies, if that's what you mean. So uniquify )or any other package) won't get used at all unless it is require'd or autoloaded somewhere. Custom doesn't do that for you at this point. If you mean uniquify _is_ getting used but that customization is being forgotten unless you do the require _first_, then Custom may be buggy (uniquify.el seems to be properly Custom-ized). Check that uniquify is getting used by doing a (featurep 'uniquify) (I think the post <##> style is the default whether or not uniquify is loaded, so you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at buffer names). -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
