Sometimes we do and sometimes we don't.  With my current emacs configuration, 
for example, I get buttons that look like this on graphical frames:

 Operate on all settings in this buffer:
 [ Revert... ] [ Apply ] [ Apply and Save ]

I think this is due to custom-raised-buttons being nil, which happens if 
cus-edit gets loaded too early in an Emacs server, as in the following example:

  echo "(require 'cus-edit)" > ~/.emacs
  emacsclient --alternate-editor="" --create-frame 

In the resulting graphical frame, customize buffers won't use 3D buttons.  Tim, 
what is the value of custom-raised-buttons in your session?

Should I open a bug report?
