What are you trying to do, exactly?

If what you want is to have just one desktop file, stored in
~/.emacs.d/, you can add this to your .emacs:

   (desktop-save-mode 1)
   (add-to-list 'desktop-path "~/.emacs.d/")

though, if you occasionally want to have directory-specific desktop
files is better to put it after ".":

  (setq desktop-path '("." "~/.emacs.d/" "~"))

Does this help you?
