That means that Emacs finds a file .emacs.desktop.lock, which
indicates that another instance of Emacs is running. In theory, that
file should be deleted when the given instance exits.

Always PID 1568, or a new one each time?

That's quite old. Could you try with a more recent build? You can
download the newest pretest of Emacs 23 from
