You're correct, I was never attempting to save emacs' state with it maximised
so (1) can be skipped.

OK, I'm having problems at the moment getting it to replicate either
with a -Q -l loading:
     (desktop-save-mode 1)
     (setq desktop-save nil) ;; so that the desktop which was giving probs is 
kept!
     (desktop-read "/home/robert/tmp")

or with my normal .emacs will let you know when I manage to generate
the same problem again!
