We also have `desktop-path`.  Mine is set to

    '("~/.emacs.d/cache" "~/.emacs.d/" "~")

and it seems to always DTRT, i.e. save the desktop file to

    ~/.emacs.d/cache/

It seems like there was no bug here, so I'm closing this now.

If this conclusion is incorrect and this is still an issue, please reply
to this email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can
reopen the bug report.
