I tried to reproduce this myself a few weeks ago, but I guess the line
eater ate my reply.

Unfortunately, the desktop file works as expected.  Are you sure the
emacsclient you've installed corresponds to a PGTK build of Emacs?  If
it's part of an Emacs installation built with another window system,
PGTK-specific code within won't be present, demonstrating symptoms
similar to what you are experiencing.
