Oh, they do care where Emacs is started from the command line.  How else 
can they get Emacs to automatically read saved desktops?

I didn't think automatic loading of desktops and getting the right 
default-direcotry was obscure.

No, if I have done a cd in some buffer, it is not enough.  But for all 
other uses, it is.
How will desktop-locals-to-save restore the default-directory if I don't 
use desktop.el?

And how will Emacs avoid to load my desktop file there if I didn't use 
it previously?
