Which differences are you're interested in? (Other > than the currrent API of desktop-save-frames being currently not very > reuse-friendly, I mean.) There's a very nice library called Workgroups for Windows[0] that can persist window and frame configurations across sessions (and much more, with a few of the more interesting features appearing only in the "Experimental" branch). It might be interesting to look at its approach to these and similar questions. Josh [0] https://github.com/tlh/workgroups.el
