That.  Other effects are too confusing to warrant a separate option:
you can achieve them by setting variables manually.

However, when calling desktop-read explicitly in a --no-desktop
session, desktop-save-mode should probably be reset to the customized
default.  At least I think that is more or less what people would
expect.
