This is horrible. I started a GUI emacs session, and there were errors loading the desktop. I loaded the file .emacs.desktop into my emacs session to see what the problem was. And lo and behold, that file had already been overwritten by Emacs. :-( This is crazy. What's the point of overwriting .emacs.desktop at startup? It's either going to be overwriting itself with a functionally identical copy, or (as in the current case) its going to be losing information needed for debugging. This is surely a bug. My trunk is at revision number 116992. -- Alan Mackenzie.
