Addendum :
C-x r w p (save window config in register p)
and then c-h v register-alist
shows the following:
((112 #<window-configuration> #<marker at 2995 in .emacs>)
(13 "Unprintable entity" #<marker at 5620 in .emacs>)
(313465889 "Unprintable entity" #<marker in no buffer>))
Now :
Save the desktop and close emacs. Re-open emacs
and retrieve the desktop file.
then c-h v register-alist
((112 "Unprintable entity" #<marker at 2995 in .emacs>)
(13 "Unprintable entity" #<marker at 5620 in .emacs>)
(313465889 "Unprintable entity" #<marker in no buffer>))
... No window config
