I've just tried this out and found that I could restore tabs just fine, although I had to call `desktop-read' giving the path of the directory where I had stored the desktop file.  The interface to this desktop package seems impractical at best.

To restore with `desktop-read', I think that `desktop-save' would have to save the desktop file to "~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs".

`desktop-save-mode', enabled via the customization option of that name, seems to do what is advertised.

I'll make this available as menu items along with support for Lion's application restore functionality.
