that was it. I replaced:

(setq desktop-enable t)
(desktop-load-default)
(desktop-read)
(defun desktop-auto-save ()
    "Added to auto-save-hook so the desktop is not lost."
    (desktop-save "~/")
    (message "Wrote desktop.")
    )
(add-hook 'auto-save-hook 'desktop-auto-save t)

by:

(desktop-save-mode 1)


and all works. And just for the record - the versions in subject I put 
are wrong - it supposed to be 22.2.1 and 23.0.60.1.
