Almost certainly.... :-) Anyway, _somehow_ `desktop-enable' got set to t in my customization variables (I don't even remember doing this), and desktop proceeded to ask the above questions whenever I exited; I didn't know how to answer them properly (even if I answered `y' to the save-desktop question, it then asked me _where_ which I didn't know how to answer), so it never stopped asking. I eventually realized where these questions where coming from and used customize to turn it off, and the questions stopped, but I presume if this is any indication, turning it on by default would confuse people like me... -miles -- We live, as we dream -- alone....
