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.
