(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
When the user has used "-Q", I think the intention is to use not affect
customisations. If we open up for saving customisations done in "emacs
-Q", that opens up a can of worms where we may be overwriting some
customisations the user has done in a "real" session, because Emacs is
set up quite differently when not using "-Q".
So I don't think we should do this, and I'm therefore closing this bug
report.
