Re: A few questions about desktop.el

      - indent-tabs-mode
      - indicate-buffer-boundaries
      - indicate-empty-lines
      - show-trailing-whitespace

I guess those are all reasonable to include.

How about this: save all minor modes, based on minor-mode-list.

    and I'm not sure why does it include `line-number-mode'. Why not
    `column-number-mode' or `size-indication-mode'?

Those are newer and not used much, so most likely nobody thought to add
them.
