Denis,

On XEmacs, which separates out the init.el and custom.el files, I use
(setq custom-file (concat "~/.xemacs/custom-" (symbol-name system-type) ".el"))
in my init.el (.emacs.el) so that the customisation file is different for
each OS I run XEmacs on.


This is a good suggestion; I am using a set-up like this now.


And for anyone who might be interested in this thread in the present/future, I created ~/.emacs-custom-gtk.el & ~/.emacs-custom-carbon.el, put the correct custom-set-faces in each, and included the following in my .emacs:

    ;; `custom-file' is treated specially by Emacs. See
    ;; http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/emacs.html#Saving-Customizations
    (cond ((os-is "linux") (setq custom-file "~/.emacs-custom-gtk.el"))
          ((os-is "darwin") (setq custom-file "~/.emacs-custom-carbon.el")))
    (message "Using custom-file: '%s'" custom-file)
    (load custom-file)
