desktop-save: DESKTOP-BUFFER-POINT for current buffer always becomdes 1

[Bauke Jan Douma]

OK, this has been irritiating me or some time: I have desktop-save-mode t
but always find that when I restart emacs, the previous session's current
buffer (at exit) always gets its DESKTOP-BUFFER-POINT set to 1.

Yesterday tried to correct that, but I cannot get it to work correctly.
The desktop file, ~/.emacs.desktop ad far as I can tell is perfectly
correct, it's just that it has 1 for DESKTOP-BUFFER-POINT for the current
buffer.

Here's what I'm doing, at the very end of ~/.emacs:

(require 'desktop)
(setq desktop-save t)
(setq desktop-save-mode t)
(setq history-length t)
(add-to-list 'desktop-globals-to-save '(minibuffer-history command-history file-name-history extended-command-history))
(setq desktop-save-mode t)
(desktop-read)

Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Use desktop and session!

OK, I have to admit that this seems to work only for a few modes for  
me, i.e. with desktop and session. In which buffers or modes do you  
miss the feature of saving the cursor's position?

Got it!

It wasn't my customized menus after all, but fvwm-mode.el
is apparently buggy.

I think this had been annoying me for about two years!
Btw., it's working now with just desktop.el, w/o session.el.

Thanks.

IIRC, add

(setq inhibit-startup-message t)

to your ~/.emacs file, to work around an apparent bug in the
implementation of the splash screen. I think this is fixed in Emacs 22
(you did not give your Emacs version).
