saving shell-sessions with desktop.el?

saving shell-sessions with desktop.el?

[stefan riha]

Hi!
I'm trying to save my buffer list by putting
the lines

(desktop-load-default)
(desktop-read)

into .emacs
This works, except that I can't save shell-sessions.
I just don't want to type "M-x shell" RET "M-x
rename-buffer" "sh1" RET every time I start emacs.

I've read something about a variable called
"desktop-files-not-to-save", but I don't know if it
has something to do with the problem nor how to look
at it's value.

Thanks,
 --Stefan

I don't think desktop.el saves anything but buffers visiting files,
unless you add the major mode to desktop-buffer-modes-to-save:

(setq desktop-buffer-modes-to-save
       (cons 'shell-mode desktop-buffer-modes-to-save))

Since desktop.el save global variables, I should have said:

I don't think desktop.el saves any buffers that aren't visiting files,
unless you add the major mode to desktop-buffer-modes-to-save:

Rather than messing around with desktop, why don't you just stick...

(shell "*sh1*")

at the end of your .emacs.
