Right now my desktop buffer is 32 kB; the size of the *Help* buffer you
describe is 68 kB. Running desktop-save did not change the size of
either (much, the *Help* buffer grew by 200 bytes after running `C-h v
buffer-undo-list' again).
By the way, the only two desktop-related items in my .emacs are turning
on desktop-save-mode (which is probably obvious ;-) and this:
(run-at-time 60 300 'desktop-save "~") ;it would be better to catch HUP and
;call desktop-save before exiting
I've yet to write the code to catch a kill or quit and run desktop-save
on an as-needed basis rather than regularly--maybe someone can volunteer
a trick there--but still, why would the buffer go from 68 kB to 3 MB
overnight? I think this is the only "cron job" *I've* set up.
Still, I think Stefan might be correct. What does it mean to have undo
in the *desktop* buffer in the first place?
