I've seen that there were several bugs related to framesets and ttys
(I've located bug#17693 and bug#24298, but there were perhaps others).
I don't understand yet the problems and the way they were fixed, but
it has changed one previous feature.
You could do
(1) emacs -f desktop-save-mode -f destop-read
set up your frame configuration with a couple of frames, save the desktop, then
(2) emacs -f desktop-save-mode -f desktop-read -nw
and you would get the same number of frames, then again
(3) emacs -f desktop-save-mode -f desktop-read -nw
and you would get back the original graphics frames.
As of the current trunk, assuming you had 2 frames in (1), when you do
(2) you gent a message
Desktop: 2 frames, 0 buffers restored.
which I think is false, because "C-x 5 o" does not switch to F2. Then,
if you exit emacs, (3) produces a warning "Error (frameset): Font
'tty' is not defined.
So, basically, previously the frameset saving in desktop.el was
intended to be unaffected by -nw (per se; of course changes to the
frames would be reflected in subsequent configurations, but not just
entering and exiting -nw), and now it's not.
I sort of liked the previous behavior, which was (bugs aside) safer.
But if the new behavior is preferred, I think there's quite a lot of
code from frameset.el that deals with the gui -> tty -> gui trip and
could be excised.
Opinions?
