#19706 had a workaround applied to it, I think.  (I think I did this
myself)
#23630 is not fixed.  I've just tried it.....

... on master.  I had four frames open, cycled through them, then did
C-x C-c, creating the desktop file and exiting.

I restarted Emacs, which created the four frames, and then did C-x C-b.
The second entry there was *scratch*.  This was not any of the four
buffers which were in the frames' windows when I previously shut down.

Other than that, the order of the buffers in C-x C-b is the reverse of
the order in my desktop file.

This was in GNU, X-Windows, with desktop-restore-frames set to t, using
version 208 (i.e. Emacs >= 25) of the desktop file format.
