Hm... what I actually want is to use a desktop file if it is in the
directory I'm starting in, but not otherwise.  I guess a subset of Eli's
value would be the right thing of desktop-path would be the right thing.

Should I move the setting back into .emacs instead of the --eval, and
only call (desktop-save-mode 1) if the file is present?

Copy-paste error.  Thanks for catching it!
