For users with small desktop files this simple solution could be
satisfactory. Who doesn't like it, can disable auto-saving and
add a pair of lines to .emacs with an explicit non-idle timer.
A separate question is whether to auto-save the desktop using
auto-save-hook by default or not. Perhaps not if it can cause
potential problems for users.
