NTemacs: *** desktop-read: "Warning: desktop file appears to be in use by PID 1568."

Loading desktop...done
Warning: desktop file appears to be in use by PID 1568.
Using it may cause conflicts.  Use it anyway? (y or n) 
Quit [4 times]
Mark saved where search started [2 times]



Happens every time.

Seems to cause no problems, though.

Just a bit strange.

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

   http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/

How do you usually stop Emacs?

Well, that's "NTemacs".  I guess I'll have to track down whoever
maintains that and see what he/she can do...

What do you mean, that it is "NTemacs"? As far as I know, NTemacs is
just a name for the (official) Windows port.

I don't understand. Are you unable or unwilling to try the pretest
build that I suggested?
