I don't understand - was it Robert's problem that he wanted to save the
Emacs desktop with a maximized frame?  I only thought that _after
restoring_ the desktop, maximizing the frame didn't restore minibuffer
and title line.

So unless Robert says that this is the problem let's skip (1).

> 2) Exit Emacs (saving the desktop)
> 3) Copy the "(setq desktop-saved-frameset ...)" line from .emacs.desktop
> 4) emacs -Q

Robert please try here both variants with and without -Q so we can see
whether something in your .emacs has any impact.

Thanks.  This is what I had in mind with "deferring loading the desktop
file until you have seen your initial frame".

If we can repeat the problem this way, we can use the debugger.
