How does it work if you have multiple Emacs sessions open at the same time, perhaps using different Emacs versions. And then you close them at various times. Is there a separate desktop saved for each? How is this handled and configured? This is likely documented, but since a change is being proposed to the default behavior, perhaps someone could summarize here the behavior and consequences for users who don't currently use desktop. Thx.
