Steve,
I think you're still OK... at least on NT when I set
auto-save-list-file-prefix
to nil, I stop getting .saves-* files in my home directory. I would assume
the same
is true on *nix (it's elisp). Even though there is a bogus value in
auto-save-list-file-name, I don't think it will ever get used. It is only
ever
used in recover-session if igrep-find *.el lieth not.
I just did a little test...
In the scratch buffer:
(setq auto-save-list-file-prefix nil)
M-x eval-current-buffer
C-x C-f ~/temp/fred RET
C-x C-s
<bang on the keyboard repeatedly until 'auto-save-interval' expires>
The result:
,----[ ~/nil5896-slackware.mynet.pc ]
| /home/steve/temp/#fred#
| /home/steve/temp/fred
`----
Looks like it's not behaving the way it should. :-(
Interestingly,
,----[ M-x recover-session RET ]
| You set `auto-save-list-file-prefix' to disable making session files
`----
So, at one level it is working, but on another it isn't.
