The ~/.uim one overwrites the ~/.uim.d/customs/ ones at
application startup. But both settings are preserved in each
files. So once you removed the setting from ~/.uim, the
~/.uim.d/customs/ settings take effect.

Mainly due to the historical reason. uim was only having ~/.uim
until uim-pref had appeared. At that time, we had introduced the
directory to be similar to ~/.emacs.d/.
