It is up to your emacs initialization to take care of the desktop configuration (something I do not do). The only thing I cannot help with is: > I notice that some Emacs frames are "emacsclient" ones (they have a > "@" in the status line); others are not. I don't see why they should > be different. but I don't find this to be an issue. YMMV, of course. -- Eric S Fraga via gnus (Emacs 30.0.50 2023-07-10) on Debian 12.0
