The Emacs customization system is unable to display some parameter types
for the variable `org-agenda-category-icon-alist'.

I encountered this bug when I specified :width and :height.

:width and :height use integers, but the symbol type doesn't parse it well.

Looks like a good fix to me.  Would you like to wrap this into a patch
with a commit message?  (Information about contributing is at

Got it.
