[OS X Emacs] desktop-save doesn't save tabs?

David:

>> I've become addicted to using tabs, but find it annoying that desktop-save does not restore my carefully tended tabs when I restart and so I have to tediously re-create them.  Is there some trick to this that I am missing?

Thank you for following up on this.  However, I'm feeling dumb, in that 
I'm not sure from your email what I need to do to be able to 
save/restore tabs (I'm not good at diving into the internal lisp of 
emacs).  Is the bottom line that I should just wait for you to make the 
required update to Aquamacs?
