Hello, Emacs.
This is horrible. I started a GUI emacs session, and there were errors
loading the desktop. I loaded the file .emacs.desktop into my emacs
session to see what the problem was. And lo and behold, that file had
already been overwritten by Emacs. :-(
This is crazy. What's the point of overwriting .emacs.desktop at
startup? It's either going to be overwriting itself with a functionally
identical copy, or (as in the current case) its going to be losing
information needed for debugging.
This is surely a bug.
My trunk is at revision number 116992.
