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.
