Emacs desktop doesn't remember TRAMP connections?

Question

I use emacs to edit scripts and code files on several different servers. TRAMP is working very well. However, when I exit emacs, all my tramp connections go away. I tried desktop-save-mode, but only local files show up when I restart emacs. Is there some package that will remember tramp connections? Is this just a configuration issue?

Answer 1

You can customize the variable desktop-buffers-not-to-save to do this:

(setq desktop-buffers-not-to-save "^$")

By default it is set to a regexp that matches TRAMP filenames. I would have expected setting it to nil would have worked, but, alas, it does not.
