Hi, the problem was posted into emacs upstream discussion https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gnu.emacs.bug/iYbniSWmhJU
Petr, thanks for posting that link. I even found that this has really been documented in the release NEWS: /usr/share/emacs/24.3/etc/NEWS ** `desktop-path' no longer includes the "." directory. Desktop files are now located in ~/.emacs.d by default. It unfortunately looks like emacs upstream is not much afraid of breaking tiny things like this and we'll have to read the NEWS more often. Here's what fixed it for me in my .emacs: (setq desktop-path (cons "./" desktop-path)) As far as I'm concerned you can close this now as NOTABUG.
Hello Ales, thanks for your update as well. I will mark notice about this problem in case that other BZs will come up.
