Haven't closely followed the thread, but in my case there are usually two 
independent instances of Emacs launched, one for code only, the other for 
"organisational stuff" - plans, todo lists, calendar, etc.
They are launched in separate directories so the corresponding .emacs.desktop 
files keep track of different settings. Either instance can go in and out of 
existence although most of the time both are running and because of the slack 
approach both start the 'server'.
