I haven't figured out exactly what is going wrong, but session.el or
desktop.el (don't remember which one) have messed up my Emacs
environment now and then. I think the reason is that it saves too much
"stuff". After disabling it Emacs works normally again. This isn't an
"official" complaint, I will have to do some debugging before I post a
bug about this.

This was just a small warning, desktop.el will probably work nice for
the parent poster.
