The best thing to do! :)

The steps I flagged in my OP are done in a single frame and in a single 
window... every new session shows different results

A  B  C  D
      <---- previous

C  B  A  D
      <---- previous

ABCD
DBAC

(SINGLE frame and window!)

As I stated above, I have a single frame and a single window, at each 
session ((desktop-save-mode t)), I get a different order..

In my real work (about 20 buffers per session), I cannot work with this 
behavior.. I have to use a speedbar or reinstall an older version of 
trunk (say <= 10 June 2011).

If there is an option I can set in my .emacs file to restore the 
behavior Emacs has always got, I will greatly appreciate...


Thanks,
Angelo.
