That would have been my fallback option, but as it turned out there was
a simpler solution:
1. Remove my old desktop settings from .emacs
2. Add the following to the end of .emacs
(setq desktop-path '("."))
3. Change the commands in the script starting emacs with a desktop, to:
cd ~/workspaces
emacs --eval "(progn (desktop-read)(desktop-save-mode 1))" >/dev/null 2>&1
&
Now emacs started with the script comes up with a restored desktop, but
an emacs started in the home directory with a plain
emacs &
comes up without desktop restore.
Thanks again!
