Look in etc/NEWS. Assuming you are using a recent build from CVS.

Transient Mark Mode: Hide Value Toggle on
State: CHANGED outside Customize; operating on it here may be
unreliable.

the variable is changed outside, but where is it changed?

Check in your ~/.emacs file or your custom file (if have it in another file).

~/.emacs, your personal init file? Don't you see the hyper-link to
the customise interface?

What hyper-link -- in one's .emacs?

For me, at least, it's a new concept -- a hyper-link in a .emacs?

I really don't understand what you (two) are talking about :-(

-------

Separately, and a real pain for me, I've never understood just how
to use customize. (Edit options, yes, from way, way, back -- but
not this "newfangled" customize thing.)

I guess the main problem for me is that it's windows-like, in that
you've got to traversing down in a tree, easy enough if you
already know what's where in the tree.

I was referring to the hyper-link that is shown in *Help* buffer when
the meaning of a variable is looked up.
