;; If your messages say: 'Wrong type argument: listp, "."' then the
;; problem is that desktop-path is "." instead of the correct '(".")
;; and the error is coming from desktop-read, not
;; desktop-save-mode. Emacs automatically calls desktop-read at some
;; point after reading the .emacs file. The late call makes the
;; problem difficult to debug since the error message doesn't give
