This is how I resolved the situation: I read non-sense function descriptions
from xemacs help menus and found out that the config should look like
this:

(custom-set-faces
 '(default ((t (:size 10 :family "Courier"))) t))


When I however had the problem, it constantly looked like:
(custom-set-faces)

These are at the end of my ~/.emacs

Now, when I had this blank entry
(custom-set-faces)
changing the font/size from the menu and saying save-options had
absolutely no effect. It would just write back the same thing.
Now I guess the changes I make might finally have some effect,
but I'm a bit scared to try :) Could any of you buys try to replicate
this bug? :)

Thanks,
