There seems to be a confusion with the splash screen. The point here is that the *scratch* buffer is empty. (Where it is in the buffer list does not matter.) You could argue that there is no point in a *scratch* buffer, if desktop reverted a session. But in that case it shouldn't exist at all. I stand corrected. I agree that there is no reason not to put the usual scratch buffer message into the scratch buffer. So I guess this change should be made. Glenn, would you please install your startup.el patch?
