I used the "customize emacs" options and made permanent changes
(regarding fonts if I remember correctly). Emacs
changed the .emacs file on disk and modified the
"custom-set-variables". The problem was that all the old
custom-set-variables (like tex-output-view-style and stuff) were
completely overwritten.

Don't know if this is intended but it's quite annoying.
