At present, we provide emacs.desktop (which starts a new instance of Emacs), and emacsclient.desktop (which connects to an existing instance of Emacs).  This is problematic if a users wants to associate a particular file type with Emacs in their desktop file manager, because they can’t know in advance which will be correct.

Attached is a patch which enhances emacsclient.desktop so that it will start a new instance of Emacs if none is found to be running.  Users who like to reuse an existing Emacs can then always use emacsclient.desktop.

There was some discussion of how far to go with this on emacs-devel recently, but, if I understand correctly, the parts in this patch were not controversial.

FWIW, I would find this change surprising, and therefore would suggest
to leave this off by default.  But that's me.

How do you understand that?  My recollection was that there was no
consensus on this, but my memory is not what it used to be.

> +  If you launch Emacs from a desktop environment, you may use the

"Desktop environment" is too general.  You mean GNU/Linux desktop
environment, and possibly just the ones compatible with
freedesktop.org?  The text should make that clear.

More generally, I'm not sure we should even say this in the Emacs
manual, as these features belong to the desktop, not to Emacs.  What
is the advantage of having this text in our manual?

> +*** New desktop integration for connecting to the server.

This isn't detailed enough, especially if we decide not to say
anything about that in the manual.  And even if we leave that text in
the manual, it is buried in a place where finding it isn't easy, so
NEWS should be more detailed.

Thanks.

For someone to be unpleasantly surprised by this, they would need to launch emacsclient.desktop with the hope that it would fail because an Emacs daemon is not already running.  If they want it to fail, why would they try to launch it?

> and therefore would suggest to leave this off by default.  But that's me.

I’m not sure what off by default would mean in this context.  We’ll be providing emacsclient.desktop for the first time in Emacs 28, so users who prefer not to use it can carry on doing whatever they did before.

I thought that replacing emacs.desktop with emacsclient.desktop, so as to always use emacsclient, was the controversial part.  Apologies if I got that wrong.

I’ve made this more specific.  Thanks.  A revised version of the patch is attached.

This section of the manual already describes how to start Emacs from systemd, which isn’t part of Emacs either.

> What is the advantage of having this text in our manual?

I think that providing two different .desktop files is confusing enough to be worth commenting on.

I’ve expanded this, but please let me know if you think there’s anything else that needs to be explained or isn’t clear; I’m aware that things that are obvious to the person who wrote a feature may not be obvious to others, but it’s hard to know exactly what.

Because they don't remember whether they did or didn't start a server?
Happens to me from time to time.

systemd support code is in emacs.c, so that is (borderline) okay.
What you describe is just normal desktop invocation, AFAIU.

It is wrong to use @dfn here, since this is not new terminology you
are introducing.  Better use @samp.

            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Please try rephrasing this to avoid passive tense.

It’s not normal to provide two different desktop entries for launching an application in slightly different ways.  However, I don’t object if we think that this addition to the manual is superfluous and decide to drop it.
