This problem is not resolved.

The implemented solution only solves the issue on startup, if after start up, you use `desktop-change-dir` to change to a non ‘-nw’ desktop file from a ‘-nw’ instance of emacs, a graphical frame will be opened. Not only that, but the frame cannot be interacted with, it does not receive any key inputs, and thus requires me to kill the emacs process.

Reproduce with:

1. Start a graphical emacs session with -q
2. Open a single file
3. Use desktop-save to save to a directory of your choice.
4. Close emacs
5. start a -nw emacs session with -q
6. run `desktop-change-dir` to load your saved desktop file
7. A graphical frame will be opened that you cannot interact with.

Note: I am on OS X with the latest dev branch.
