I think someone brought up this issue some time ago (either here on this
list or in EmacsWiki). Based on that discussion, I added the following
hook to my .emacs, and I no longer see a prompt at startup:

(add-hook 'desktop-save-hook 'tramp-cleanup-all-buffers)

I'm using the tramp version included in Emacs 23.
