1) 
I'm still having problems with customize not setting fonts correctly.
For example. dired-face-marked defaults as foreground default (a shade
of white), and background palevioletred.  smokywhite on palevioletred
looks awful so I set the foreground on this face to be black.  If I
start up xemacs -q and run the following:
(custom-set-variables
 '(custom-background-mode (quote dark)))
(custom-set-faces
 '(dired-face-marked ((((class color)) (:foreground "black" :background "PaleVioletRed")) (t (:underline t)))))

It works correctly.  However, when I start up everything like normal
and the above line is run (along with a bunch of other set-face lines)
it doesn't get set correctly.  However I can go into Customization,
and type 'set' on the correct button, and it sets it correctly at that
point.

If I run the following instead:
(require 'font)
(require 'cus-face)
(require 'dired)

(custom-set-variables
 '(custom-background-mode (quote dark)))
(custom-set-faces
 '(dired-face-marked ((((class color)) (:foreground "black" :background "PaleVioletRed")) (t (:underline t)))))

It doesn't get set correctly.  Oddly.  In the dired buffer it looks
like it is something like grey60 on palevioletred, and in the
customization buffer it displays as smokywhite on palevioletred.
Again going down to the '[!]' button and doing 'set' sets it up
correctly.

And of course running the following:
(custom-set-variables
 '(custom-background-mode (quote dark)))
(custom-set-faces
 '(dired-face-marked ((((class color)) (:foreground "black" :background "PaleVioletRed")) (t (:underline t))) t))

Before I start anything the font is set correctly.

Is this a load order thing?  

2)
The '(sample)' next to the foreground and background colours in
customization aren't displaying samples anymore.  They are just
staying the default.
