desktop-read breaks perspective-mode, and nearly everything else

[zenspider]

After attempting to run desktop-read, with nothing terribly complicated in it, all interactions with perspective, or switch-to-buffer, or debugger-on-error fail out. The fact that I can't bring up the debugger at all is the sticking point for me. I can't even provide you with any other info but this:

*Messages* buffer:

Debug on Error enabled globally
ad-handle-definition: ‘imenu’ got redefined
Starting new Ispell process /usr/local/bin/aspell with english dictionary...
Desktop: File "/Users/ryan/Work/git/chef/inspec/results/test.unit.resources.http.test.rb.log" no longer exists.

ad-Advice-recursive-edit: Wrong type argument: hash-table-p, "Unprintable entity"

Those last two errors are me trying to use perspective-switch and switch-to-buffer I believe.

@zenspider: Not sure what's going on with your problem there, but don't waste your time trying to use desktop-save-mode with perspective-el. I have a PR for perspective-el which adds comparable save-restore functionality: #80, please test it!

I also tried desktop-mode but no luck, @gcv know what happened? why?

[gcv]

The Wrong type argument: hash-table-p error might have occurred because a frame was not properly initialized for perspective-el. In any case, desktop-mode is not supported with perspective. That might change in the future, but in the meanwhile, persp-state-save and persp-state-load from #80. We'll merge that in soon(ish).

Thanks. Hope that will be merged soon.

I can't reproduce this anymore. I think we've covered our bases. Otherwise, maybe we can get more info if we can reproduce it later. Closing.
