desktop.el assumes dired-directory is a string |

In GNU Emacs 21.3.2 (i386-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2003-04-24 on raven, modified by Debian
configured using `configure i386-linux --prefix=/usr --sharedstatedir=/var/lib
--libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/share/info
--mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=athena
--without-gif'
Important settings:
value of $LC_ALL: nil
value of $LC_COLLATE: nil

value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
value of $LC_TIME: nil
value of $LANG: C

default-enable-multibyte-characters: nil
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
desktop.el's desktop-save may fail (for example) with:
expand-file-name(("/" "/usr/share/gri/2.12.5/startup.msg" ...)
(cons (expand-file-name dired-directory) (cdr (nreverse ...)))
in
(defun desktop-buffer-dired-misc-data ()
(if (eq major-mode 'dired-mode)
(cons
(expand-file-name dired-directory)
(cdr
(nreverse
(mapcar
(function car)
dired-subdir-alist))))))
it assumes that `dired-directory' is a string holding the directory
name. But it can also a a list to files to display.
This had triggered a bug in the package apt-utils that uses dired
with this method.
Thanks,
