Since resume.el has become obsolete, does anybody have some tip on how to
achieve the same functionality by some other means? That is, having a suspended
(C-z) emacs open a file the moment it is resumed (fg). I'm usually on non-X11
emacs, and typically not running emacsclient. Perhaps the only solution 
nowdays is emacsclient, but would it even work when emacs is suspended...

Between suspending GNU Emacs in the background and then putting again into the foreground nothing can happen in GNU Emacs in-between. Nothing changes. When it is again in the foreground it will show the same as in the moment when it was put into the background…

Of course. And what resume.el did upon resume was to look in ~/.emacs_args for
a filename which it would open.

Right, after removing the obsoletion mark from resume.el, neat feature works
fine again in 24--it hadn't been broken as I first thought.

Packages marked obsolete are supposed to work still (not sure what you
man by "removing the obsoletion mark"), so if they don't you should
report it as a bug (tho usually the fixes will be minimalist, of
course).

Also if you can't find a replacement for the feature, that's a bug.
I.e. if emacsclient doesn't provide the same functionality, then please
complain via M-x report-emacs-bug.

The idea is to use emacsclient -a "", so even when Emacs seems
suspended, the daemon is still listening (basically, the `emacs'
process is not suspended: it's only detached from the tty).
