That's the intention. Currently the strategy is to keep using the old name if the file already exists, and to use the new name otherwise. The strategy is not completely consistent in how to do it, because most files in ~/.emacs.d are files which in $HOME should be hidden, but in ~/.emacs.d they don't have any reason to be hidden any more (nor to include "emacs" in their name), so often the file in ~/.emacs.d doesn't have the same name as in ~. In the case of desktop.el, OTOH you can indeed move ~/.emacs.desktop to ~/.emacs.d. Stefan
