Maybe you should contemplate reading my entire note, specifically:

: Whap me once hard with a clue hammer if need be, but (e.g.) the symbol
: custom-get-frame-properties does not occur anywhere in any of the
: custom/cus*.el files in my installation, and PATCH(1) IS UNDERSTANDABLY
: RELUCTANT TO HELP.

Hmm...  Looks like a new-style context diff to me...

Patching file cus-face.el using Plan A...

pocari-sweat: 

Considering that your patch references line 470 in cus-face.el, and my 
cus-face.el is only 255 lines long, it's just possible that one of our 
versions is out of date.  I've stipulated the version I'm using above,
which appears to be later than yours.  Notably, as the grep above
shows, your patch contains references to symbols which simply do not
exist in the version I've got.

My system also has FSFmacs 20.2 installed, whose cus-face.el is only
172 lines long, in which custom.el claims to be version 1.9900.
