Description of problem: emacs complains when starting up that pid $$ already has the .emacs.desktop file open, when in fact the pid is the currently running instance. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GNU Emacs 22.1.50.1 (powerpc-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.8) of 2008-02-18 on ppc3.fedora.redhat.com How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. touch .emacs.desktop 2. emacs 3. Actual results: Expected results: current and only instance accessing file should be able to do so without warning about it. :( Additional info: have not tried rawhide on other arch yet. same symptoms occur with both the graphical and nox versions.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Can you reproduce this problem with more recent packages of GNU Emacs (probably emacs-22.2-5.fc9)?
(In reply to comment #2) > Can you reproduce this problem with more recent packages of GNU Emacs (probably > emacs-22.2-5.fc9)? No. I juggled several of the desktop variables and it went away. However, I did have the default for the desktop setup when I started. (I had set nothing). Now it seems to require: '(desktop-after-read-hook nil) '(desktop-file-name-format (quote absolute)) '(desktop-load-locked-desktop t) '(desktop-path (quote ("."))) '(desktop-restore-eager t) '(desktop-save t) '(desktop-save-mode t) You can close this one. I have some more interesting behavior for the F10 version and will open another.
