Ok I hope this will be adequate:

(defcustom zen-encumbered-urls nil
  "make it harder to reach urls so you remember not to go there."
  :group 'zen-mode
  :type '(repeat string))


define this theme:

(deftheme zen-test
  "Created 2011-03-10.")

(custom-theme-set-variables
 'zen-test
 '(zen-encumbered-urls  (quote ( "#brief timewastes" "www.penny-arcade.com" 
"www.dilbert.com" "www.xkcd.com" "www.userfriendly.org" "#news waste" 
"slashdot.org" "dn.se" "#social timewastes" "https://www.facebook.com";)))
)

(provide-theme 'zen-test)

then:

load-library cus-theme
custom-theme-visit-theme zen-test

I'm expecting to see the same string repeater widgets plain customize
shows. Instead I get a single string that shows nil. In my larger code I
don't get nil I just get the list but still not the repeater.
