And, yes, I upgraded emacs to v.23.1.1. Now I get this error when emacs loads: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable Í) (desktop-create-buffer Í "/home/mine/file2open.html" "file2open.html" (quote html-helper-mode) (quote (auto-fill-mode abbrev-mode)) 5535 (quote (nil nil)) nil nil (quote (...))) eval-buffer(# nil "/home/zl/.emacs.desktop" nil t) ; Reading at buffer position 1139 load-with-code-conversion("/home/zl/.emacs.desktop" "/home/zl/.emacs.desktop" t t) load("/home/zl/.emacs.desktop" t t t) desktop-read() #[nil "  ƒ Anyone know how to fix this? If so, much appreciated.
