That's not my interpretation of the original report.  It specifically
talks about "emacs -Q".

It also talks about the daemon.  If that's the problem, then I guess
desktop-kill could behave as if YES was answered when we run in daemon
mode and -Q was not given on the command line.  Would that make sense?

What other use cases are there where this issue could arise,
i.e. where the user couldn't answer the question?
