I edit various files using tramp, i am on a slow connection thus want to
avoid saving remote files while exiting.
the default value for desktop-files-not-to-save is "^/[^/:]*:" when i check
the regex using list buffers it does match tramp files
but they are still saved when i exit emacs. is there another way to make
desktop-mode skip tramp files?

i have the following in my .emacs for loading desktop.

;;destop mode
(load "desktop")
(desktop-load-default)
;(desktop-read)
;; automatically save the desktop on exit.
(setq desktop-enable t)
;;save where we left cursor in file on kill
(require 'saveplace)
(setq-default save-place t)

thanks...
