Ok but OTOH, when you are not using desktop-save-mode (as I do) after
the manual save explanation you are left wondering « how could I restore
it when I need to? » and then the text goes on about setting up
desktop-save-mode.  That's why I placed this sentence here.  Maybe it
need some rewording but I don't know how I could do it.

And BTW, shouldn't desktop-revert be the user facing interface here?
