I don't use it. How does it work if you have multiple Emacs sessions open at
the same time, perhaps using different Emacs versions. And then you close
them at various times. Is there a separate desktop saved for each? How is
this handled and configured?

This is likely documented, but since a change is being proposed to the
default behavior, perhaps someone could summarize here the behavior and
consequences for users who don't currently use desktop. Thx.
