Saying "defaults to ~/.emacs.d" is strictly speaking incorrect, because
it really defaults to user-emacs-directory, which might or might not be
"~/.emacs.d". It is true that the same could probably be argued about
some other occurences in the manuals (most of which probably go back
even before the introduction of user-emacs-directory in Emacs 23, let
alone the recent XDG-compliance efforts), though, so if you insist, at
least it will be incorrect somewhat _consistently_ (and can be fixed
later together with the other places) :-D.

The real issue here was more the semantics than the grammar, similarly
to the NEWS correction: it's really Emacs, not GDB, that restores the
windows after GDB quits.
Thanks!
