loading ecb-mode from desktop.el messes .emacs

loading ecb-mode from desktop.el messes .emacs

[Micha Feigin]

When ecb is activated through desktop.el (an active desktop session was
closed with ecb-active), when next opening emacs it will remove
custom-set-variables and custom-set-faces from my .emacs and inhibit
some of the settings from loading (for example tabbar doesn't load
automatically in this settings).

Any ideas on what the problem is or how to solve or find it?

This is with emacs bidi (based on 21.3.50). desktop.el has something
about version 20.3 and ecb is version 2.21.

I found the cause of the problem, no immediate solution, just a work
around.

ecb tip of the day seems to be stopping the processing of the startup
files at some point (not sure if at the point where ecb is activated or
not yet).

disabling tip of the day before loading desktop (and thus starting ecb
by activating the mode) solves the problem for now.

I am guessing this is an ecb bug then?

Making ECB and desktop.el work together was discussed some time ago on the ECB
mailing list, archived on "ecb.sourceforge.net".

It boils down to set `desktop-minor-mode-table' to something like

 ((auto-fill-function auto-fill-mode)
  (vc-mode nil)
  (ecb-minor-mode nil)
  (semantic-show-unmatched-syntax-mode nil)
  (semantic-stickyfunc-mode nil)
  (senator-minor-mode nil)
  (semantic-idle-scheduler-mode nil))

but you better read the mails regarding that subject. It works for me.
