You're describing a means to an end (which may or may not exist and may
or may not work as you want it to (e.g. it probably won't magically
reopen the same number of frames at the same place on your screen)).
I'm describing another means to a similar end (which does exist).
Anyway, your answer implicitly tells me that desktop.el does not give
you the result you're looking for, tho I'm not sure exactly what it is
that is "missing".
