custom-load-symbol does not work for all variables concerned.  At
first, I thought all the relevant variables have 'custom-load property
(which tells custom-load-symbol what to load), but I was wrong.  I
don't know what the criteria is that variables are given
'custom-load---is it only if the variable name matches the custom
group name?

So I am trying to think of a better solution.

Maybe we should explicitly load those defcustoms that appear in the
menu-bar, in menu-bar.el.
