In some older Gnome versions, you could save current ditectory in the  
session manager and Emacs would then restart in that directory.

But now you can't so Emacs is restarted in a different directory.  If  
you are saving different desktops in different directories, restarting  
Emacs is kind of pointless unless you are in the right directory.

So making sure the desktop is saved wont solve the bug unless it is  
also read back properly.
