Unfortunately this causes a problem if .emacs prompts the user for
something, as `desktop-read' does if a stale lock exists for the
desktop file.  It calls `y-or-n-p' but the user cannot see nor
answer the question because there is no initial frame, and the
server is not yet started. :(

Any suggestions on how we should handle this?  Should desktop.el be
changed to not prompt?
