I understand that, and for my part in your burnout, I'm sorry.

I watch emacs-diffs, so I know whos spend a lot of effort writing
docs. But in my example I wasn't pointing to anyone, nor suggesting
that you or Eli should do it; perhaps it is not evident, but I have a
great deal of respect for both of you and wouldn't dream of assuming
that I know how you should spend your time...

?
So do you think that most emacs developers are only interested in the
"new, shiny" things?

Well, framesets aren't documented in the elisp reference, but they are
hardly undocumented. In fact, once I start writing the info docs for
it, I don't think I'm going to say much, if anything, that isn't
already in the docstrings or the comments. frameset.el has a bit more
of 1100 non-empty lines, and ~56% of that is comments or docstrings.

I cannot honestly say that I've looked at NEWS much for months, except
out of necessity (so, infrequently). Also, I find the "+++"/"---"/""
marking opaque, confusing and quite error-prone.
But enough. If framesets must be documented in the elisp reference, I'll do it.
That said, next time I read something like this (Martin's words) in Emacs devel:
In Emacs 24.3 there are two functions `window-state-get' and
`window-state-put' which can be used to do that. The only missing part
is to write an interface to these functions when saving and restoring
the desktop. I don't know whether anybody has done that.
I'm gonna sit on my hands or go fishing typos in lisp/*.el until the
urge to implement passes ;-)
