I don't understand here.. In my /~/.emacs.d/init.el I have

;; Instead to save in ~/.emacs.desktop
(setq desktop-base-file-name "~/.emacs.d/desktop")

;; Instead to save in ~/.emacs.desktop.lock
(setq desktop-base-lock-name "~/.emacs.d/desktop.lock")

;; For the moment in Emacs there is an 'illogic'
;; it saves, on desktop file, the flyspell-mode
;; BUT NOT the dictionary with which the buffer
;; is spelled. We have added 'ispell-local-dictionary',
;; as suggested by emacs-devel list, hoping the things
;; is reguralized in the future.
(setq desktop-locals-to-save
      (cons 'ispell-local-dictionary desktop-locals-to-save))

;; Save desktop
(desktop-save-mode t)

and now I have added

(setq desktop-save-windows t)


Which "desktop save file" are you talking about? Perhaps 
"~/.emacs.d/desktop"?

I have tried

$ grep window .emacs.d/desktop

but found anything called "window-save"...

So I am a little confused.

Any way, adding "setq desktop-save-windows t" in my init file seem to work.

I notice only that if I close Emacs (the session) with the frame full 
maximized (the button of the system window activated), the next time I 
restart Emacs (the next session), the frame has almost the same size of 
previous session (just the height one line sorter) but the maximized 
button not active. If I have read correctly this, at the moment, is to 
be expected.

Many thanks for having added this to Emacs!


Ciao,
