> When I try to run emacs 26.3.50 (built from source), it gives me the following warning: "Warning: desktop file appears to be in use by PID .... Using it may cause conflicts. Use it anyway? (y or n)". If I select "y", it eventually quits and the following error is produced:

Crystal ball says this is bug#38442.  If so, it is already fixed, and
the problem is that you have a non-XFT font backend specified by the
desktop file for one of your frames.
