Subject: 24.3; remote files not saved/restored to desktop-save
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2016 15:47:52 -0400

Opened emacs with "emacs -Q".  Opened a local file and a remote file.

Saved both files.

Ran "M-x desktop-save", prompted for directory, used "~/.emacs.d/".

Exited with "C-x C-c".

In session 2: Opened emacs again with "emacs -Q", did "C-x C-b"; neither 
previous local nor remote file is listed.

================================================================

Did the same again, except at the beginning of session 2 I ran "M-x 
desktop-read"; this time the local file was successfully opened, but not 
the remote file.

By design. Customize desktop-files-not-to-save (before saving desktop)
to change this.

Went to that Customize Option, set it to None.  Saved for both session 
and future.

Did M-x desktop-save (answered directory prompt: ~/,emacs.d).

None of the currently opened files were listed in ~/,emacs.d/.emacs.desktop

If you did that in Emacs 24.3, the result is expected, as setting
desktop-files-not-to-save to nil (a.k.a. "None") was known to be
broken there.  Emacs 24.4 fixed that.  In Emacs 24.3, set the variable
to some pattern that will never match any of your files, then I think
it will work for you.

Thanks, Eli.  That worked.  Even remote files now appear in 
~/.emacs.d/.emacs.desktop !!
