[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello.

Cutomizations in my .emacs:

'(desktop-globals-to-save
   (quote
    (desktop-missing-file-warning tags-file-name tags-table-list search-ring regexp-search-ring register-alist file-name-history compile-command compile-history)))
 '(desktop-path (quote ("." "~/.emacs.d/" "~")))
 '(desktop-restore-frames t)
 '(desktop-save-mode t)

I start Emacs without any .emacs.desktop.
Start emacs, M-x desktop-save (in current directory), exit emacs.
Start emacs
Gives error:

desktop-read: frameset-states accessing a non-frameset

Attaching the .emacs.desktop.

> desktop-read: frameset-states accessing a non-frameset

I cannot directly load you desktop because of a couple of invalid
values (font and border-width), but once I set them to reasonable
values for my system, and leaving everything else as is, it loads just
fine.

Please, try to reproduce the problem starting from emacs -Q, without
customizations or anything else.

Ok,
emacs -Q
M-x desktop-save (in ~).
C-x C-c
emacs -Q
M-x desktop-read

Same message.

Attaching that .emacs.desktop.

What is an "invalid value"?  Something not supported by your system?  I would not call that invalid, it is perfectly valid, you just can't use it.  Or if it indeed is invalid, that is a bug in desktop, it is saved by desktop.

Hello.

Turns out a make bootsrap was needed.  I should have figured that out, nowdays bootstrap is required for almost everytime a bzr up is done.  Sorry for the noice.

Closing.

Glad to hear that it works now. Yes, unfortunately bootstrap is
required quite often.

> What is an "invalid value"?  Something not supported by your system?  I would not call that invalid, it is perfectly valid, you just can't use it.

Let's not discuss semantics. I mean values that I cannot restore in my system.

framesets are not specifically designed to be saved in one system and
restored in another, very different, one. It will work, with some
fixes, but it is currently unsupported by lack of testing. Yours is
only the second bug report I get ;-)  Specifically, the font parameter
will have to be filtered out when you restore in another system,
though it is not obvious how to do so without filtering also in the
original system (which you wouldn't want to do, because you could have
a non-default value that you want to keep); it's not a technical, but
UI issue. As for border-width, that's a combination of an Emacs
shortcoming and a bug. I'll work on fix it.

> Sorry for the noice.

On the contrary, you brought the issues mentioned above, and I'm very
grateful for that.
