I really don't know anything about desktop, but for some reason I set `desktop-enable' to t at some point. Then emacs started asking questions when I exited -- `Save desktop?' `Where?' etc. I don't want to answer questions when I exit, I just want to exit, and I presume most users are the same -- _especially_ if it's for a feature that they didn't enable explicitly. Maybe there's something screwed up with my system, I don't know. If desktop did something useful without being annoying I suppose it could be turned on by default. -Miles -- Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
