But you don't have to delete it to update it, right?

I don't use this so I might be wrong but that seems strange
one has to do manually.

In the docstring to `desktop-save' it says:

  If ONLY-IF-CHANGED is non-nil, compare the current desktop
  information to that in the desktop file, and if the desktop
  information has not changed since it was last saved, then do
  not rewrite the file.

Sounds like it, it me...
