(I was trying to create a test > version of Emacs that used most of my regular .emacs file, but did not > load or save its desktop.) I'm not sure i understand what you mean. I suppose you start 'emacs --no-desktop' and have some lines in your .emacs that load/save your desktop. You think those lines should not load/save your desktop when --no-desktop was specified? Well emacs does what you tell it to do ;-). > 2. It does not turn off a turned-on Save Desktop. --no-desktop can not 'turn off a turned-on Save Desktop' because when emacs is started there is no 'turned-on Save Desktop'. It seems you would like --no-desktop to be much more final?? I think it would be wrong. When i start emacs with --no-desktop then yes it should not load any saved desktop. But then later when a "desktop-save" command is issued (no matter if via M-x or .emacs) i expect emacs to do just that. Stephan -- Stephan Stahl
