Why does desktop.el not save text properties?
Maybe for some historical reasons?
This is required for bug#22479.
I can't find a problem while trying this patch:
diff --git a/lisp/desktop.el b/lisp/desktop.el

Additionally I found out that savehist uses the same solution,
so it's consistent to do the same, pushed to master as 99de04e.
