You need a (load "desktop") before these lines.
My .emacs has the following entries:
;;=====================================================================
; Desktop works to save your current emacs session -- your buffers,
; positions within them, etc, and to reload your old emacs session
; when you start emacs up again. The first time you want to do this,
; you also need to do "M-x desktop-save".
;
; The reason that I have this down here towards the end of the file is
; that all the nice font-locking stuff is otherwise ignored -- you'd
; need to do "M-x font-lock-mode" by hand, for each buffer, every
; time. That's no good.
;
; Note: I think XEmacs does this automatically. Emacs has this
; package, but the following lines are necessary to activate it.
;; load, activate and restore desktop
(require 'desktop)
(add-hook 'desktop-save-hook
'(lambda ()
(desktop-truncate search-ring 3)
(desktop-truncate regexp-search-ring 3)))
(setq desktop-enable t)
(desktop-load-default)
(desktop-read)
HTH.
