Maybe this will help?

,----
| desktop-save is a variable defined in `desktop.el'.
| Its value is ask-if-new
|
| Documentation:
| Specifies whether the desktop should be saved when it is killed.
| A desktop is killed when the user changes desktop or quits Emacs.
| Possible values are:
|    t             -- always save.
|    ask           -- always ask.
|    ask-if-new    -- ask if no desktop file exists, otherwise just save.
|    ask-if-exists -- ask if desktop file exists, otherwise don't save.
|    if-exists     -- save if desktop file exists, otherwise don't save.
|    nil           -- never save.
| The desktop is never saved when `desktop-save-mode' is nil.
| The variables `desktop-dirname' and `desktop-base-file-name'
| determine where the desktop is saved.

Might be, but my point is, that the behaviour has changed in org-mode - and that should not be.

Cheers,
