Hi,
With .emacs narrowed down to following:
(custom-set-variables
'(desktop-save-mode t))
(desktop-load-default)
(desktop-read)
I noted a very weird question upon start up (only Windows, Linux is fine):
"Warning: desktop file appears to be in use by PID %s.
The PID indicates the emacs itself I am trying to bring up. Any idea
what is wrong? It is really annoying.
Thx, Andy

I think in Emacs 22 and later the way to activate `desktop' has changed.
I think you just need:
(desktop-save-mode 1)
in your .emacs nowadays.
Is it possible you are using an older config? Perhaps a read of the
info page on desktop would solve ye problem.

Actually - forgive me - I am only speaking about Emacs 22 here. I've
never used Emacs 23.

that was it. I replaced:
(setq desktop-enable t)
(desktop-load-default)
(desktop-read)
(defun desktop-auto-save ()
"Added to auto-save-hook so the desktop is not lost."
(desktop-save "~/")
(message "Wrote desktop.")
)
(add-hook 'auto-save-hook 'desktop-auto-save t)
by:
(desktop-save-mode 1)
and all works. And just for the record - the versions in subject I put
are wrong - it supposed to be 22.2.1 and 23.0.60.1.
thx, Andy

I don't use desktop so I can only speculate. IIUC,
`desktop-load-default' is obsolete since Emacs 22.1. What happens if
you omit it? The very problem occurs when you call `desktop-read' which
does
(or (null desktop-load-locked-desktop)
(not (y-or-n-p (format "Warning: desktop file appears to be in use by PID %s.\n\
Using it may cause conflicts. Use it anyway? " owner)))))
so simply typing "y" should load it. But maybe Emacs could check
whether it is the owner of that PID. Are you sure there's no other
Emacs process around?

I did not help - I replaced all existing solution by singe
(desktop-save-mode 1)

yes, it was first thing I checked :-)
