Sorry to followup my own post, but the one thing that I encountered
that is really bad about my proposal is that it really takes a *long*
time to create the customization buffer even with a modest number of
faces.

Does anybody know why this takes that long? 
I can see that the complex strukture of the face widget takes some
time to be drawn, but initially all these widgets are closed...

PS: I would /really/ like to hear some comments about this. I have to
administer a site wide XEmacs installation and one of the most
annoying things for our users here was the trouble they ran into once they
started changing their faces. So IMHO it is better still to distribute
something that is slow but solid than fast and buggy.
