There are three "ask" cases in desktop-save.

ask -- always ask.

ask-if-new -- ask if no desktop file exists, otherwise just save.

ask-if-exists -- ask if desktop file exists, otherwise don't save.

I'm not sure defaulting to YES in all cases is what makes more sense.

Don't know. It is posible for an Emacs instance to have all frames in a remote desktop?
