The button is in the Customize buffer for ‘tramp-verbose’, brought up
by e.g. ‘M-x customize-variable’. See the attached screenshots for
reference. The before screenshot shows Customize saving the new
setting to the test .emacs file and the after screenshot shows a newly
launched Emacs displaying the same Customize buffer. The problem is
that the user setting saved by Customize was undone after loading
TRAMP, which is indicated by the after screenshot showing the variable
was changed outside Customize.
