I have a simple way to reproduce the problem.

On emacs-ubuntu, run:

emacs -Q -l foo-frameset.el

The foo-frameset.el is:

(require 'frameset)

giving:
Error (frameset): Cannot change the border width of a frame

The frameset
I have not tried to reduce the frameset whatsoever.

My point is that the frameset is not compatible between my emacs-w64
session and my emacs-ubuntu session
because (at least) of the border-width which errors.
I was expecting to be able to run emacs independently on Windows and
GNU/Linux and being able to share
all of my setup. I get this error when the desktop package is restoring the
session.

Fabrice
