Maybe, but I'm not sure: the amount of typing doesn't necessarily present evidence of changes to the window configuration, visiting new files or killing buffers, and other changes saved by desktop.el. The correlation between the two does exist, but it is much weaker than in the case of auto-save of buffers.
