Yes. The desktop module adds an anonymous function to the after-init-hook, this function calls desktop-read.Here's what the manual says now: To use Desktop, you should use the Customization buffer (@pxref{Easy Customization}) to set @code{desktop-enable} to a address@hidden value, or add these lines at the end of your @file{.emacs} file: @example (desktop-load-default) (desktop-read) (setq desktop-enable t) @end example Are you saying that the second option is a mistake?
Yes. desktop-enable is supposed to enable _automatic_ desktop save and restore. You might want to call desktop-read without the side effect of enabling automatic saving.Otherwise, it looks like desktop-read should set desktop-enable. Is there a case where people want to use desktop-read without setting desktop-enable?
desktop-remove is, according to the docstring, supposed to "Delete the Desktop file and inactivate the desktop system". If we introduce desktop-save as a minor mode, disabling is should be done by the mode function. Furthermore desktop-remove only removes the desktop file in desktop-dirname, not desktop files in other directories. I think it would be better not to delete any desktop file at all.- Get rid of desktop-remove Why do that?
