desktop.el only automatically reads the desktop file if
desktop-save-mode is enabled and only right after reading the init file.
So in the example above, desktop-save-mode is enabled too late but this
to trigger, hence you'd need to explicitly ask desktop to read the file
(by calling `desktop-read`).

BTW, why to you call (desktop-save-mode 1) twice?
