After login "." and "~" are the same place, this prevents from nothing.
In my eyes a smart migration to a name *desktop_whatever*.el is a
robust and straitforward solution. In case of a new creation take the
new name, in case of searching an already existing desktop search first
for the new name then for the "old" name.
After 5 years or so drop the handling of the old scheme mentioned in the
"release notes" alternative cleanup the mechanism with the intro of 24.1
. (Perhaps I'm naive)
For me the extension .desktop is associated with graphical desktops like
KDE independent how long and since when emacs made use of this expression.
The lines: (setq desktop-base-file-name ".emacs-desktop.el")
(desktop-save-mode 1) in ~/.emacs satisfy me.
What are computers good for ? They solve problems we never had without them.
