Can you figure out *when*?  AFAIK Emacs's desktop normally doesn't
choose a desktop file for the user, it should always prompt (or reuse
an existing file).  So the behavior you describe doesn't match
my expectation.  Could it be that you set `desktop-dirname` somewhere in
your customization (maybe in the desktop file itself)?
