Wouldn't it be enough to check for the autoloaded variable
`desktop-save-mode'? When it is non-nil, we can assume that
the user has customized it to load the desktop, so don't show
the splash screen.
No. My current value in this instance in which I am writing:
desktop-save-mode is a variable defined in `desktop.el'.
Its value is nil
In my major instance of GNU Emacs, I load over 20 files from a saved
desktop, but my `desktop-save-mode' variable is nil because I want
always to load the same files, but often look at others that I do not
necessarily want the next time I start Emacs.
On the other hand, in a root owned instance, in a `when' expression, I
evoke
(desktop-save-mode 1)
(desktop-read "/root")
The root owned instance says:
desktop-save-mode is a variable defined in `desktop.el'.
Its value is t
That is an advantage of having nil, t and one .emacs file loaded with
-q -l ~bob/.emacs
