I don't think this message stops you from customizing them off. It is 
caused by the default state being calculated at startup (before .emacs 
is read), based on whether you are running on a graphical display rather 
than being a constant. It might also be complicated by the fact that 
Emacs is dumped in text mode, so the default evaluated to nil when dumping.
