Maybe these lines help a bit:

;;; Desktop & Session
(unless (string-match "21.2" mEV)
   (progn
     (desktop-save-mode 1)
     (setq history-length 250)
     (setq desktop-globals-to-save '(desktop-missing-file-warning))	%  
nice when a buffer was visiting an archive, or the senseless file was  
removed in the meantime
     (setq desktop-dirname   (format "~/.emacs.d/PDesktop-%d" emacs- 
major-version))
;veraltet: (desktop-load-default)
;    (setq desktop-buffer-modes-to-save
;          (cons 'w3m-mode desktop-buffer-modes-to-save))
;    (setq desktop-locals-to-save
;          (cons 'buffer-file-coding-system desktop-locals-to-save))	 
% automatic now?
     (require 'session)
     (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'session-initialize)
     (setq session-save-file (format "~/.Psession-%d"     emacs-major- 
version))
))

Apple brings an old GNU Emacs 21.2 to Mac OS X which only runs  
without X11. It would need old syntax, but it isn't worth the effort.  
The directories "~/.emacs.d/PDesktop-%d" need to be created.
