Re: Initial scratch message missing with desktop-save-mode on

[Richard Stallman]

    I don't see why the insertion of the initial scratch message should be
    conditional on which buffer happens to be current at that point in the
    start-up sequence.

It makes sense to me.  If your init file sets up other buffers, Emacs
should let you see them, right?

I think this is not a bug; let's drop it and move on.
