I am not talking about GUI vs terminal, the problem here is if Emacs is
started from a script. Would it be possible to adjust the directory
changing behavior, for example if Emacs is started with the arguments
`--daemon`, `--batch` or `--script`? Is there another way to detect if
the finder launched Emacs, such that only in that case the directory
changing to the home directory takes place?
