There seems to be a problem with my .emacs.desktop files in combination with
the new org - if I close all buffer, quit, answer the question with yes,
re-open emacs, open the same file again, close emacs (no questions asked),
open emacs again, desktop file is read, close, no questions asked.

So I know how to fix it. I attach one .emacs.desktop which shows this
behavior.

Cheers and thanks for your patience,

Rainer
