To try and be as sure as possible I created a brand new user and tried the following sequence from this new home directory: Launch Terminal (default shell - tcsh) % emacs C-x C-f test (enter 'This is a text file' in new buffer) M-x text-mode M-x auto-fill-mode M-x customize-group desktop desktop-enable [toggle] non-nil (saving state for future sessions, .emacs created) M-x desktop-save (selecting home directory, .emacs.desktop created) C-x C-c (writing file 'test' to disk) % emacs 'test' read & buffer created but in FUNDAMENTAL mode, auto-fill mode preserved. I've tried re-ordering this sequence, ie, 'desktop-enabling' before setting the major & minor mode but to cut a long story short, the major mode text-mode is simply not being preserved, even when starting emacs completely from scratch, i.e., in a whole new home directory. I have posted pleas for help at help-gnu-emacs without success. The best explanation I've been given so far was that a function involved with restoring the desktop must be crashing and that I should check my *Messages* buffer immediately after start-up, and failing that, disable my .emacs file (effectively starting from scratch) and see if the problem persisted. I have done both, (no relevant messages were being shown), and this has lead me to conclude that there must be a bug. Dying to know what's going on / if it's a bug / if not, what I'm missing / doing wrong. Seb.
