I don't understand this condition:

  (unless (desktop-restoring-frameset-p)

Why buffers should be restored in right order only when
restoring a single-frame (without restoring a frameset)
but not when restoring a single-frame from a frameset?
I think restoring the original order is needed in both cases.

Maybe buffers should be saved in the desktop in reverse order?
This will restore the original order of the global buffer list.

And frame-local and window-local buffer lists needs to be saved too.
