bug#19413: 24.4; (desktop-save-mode 1) save frame as page and desktop sticky (_NET_WM_STATE_STICKY) when close Emacs shaded, (setq desktop-restore-frames nil) fix issue.

[Oleksandr Gavenko]

I upgrade Emacs on Debian to 24.4.1.

New changes for desktop-save-mode:

  *** Desktop now saves and restores the frame/window configuration.
  To disable this, set `desktop-restore-frames' to nil.

I don't set desktop-restore-frames previously.

When I use Fvwm `WindowShade` command on Emacs window it hided, only titlebar
shown.

If I close Emacs in shaded state and run again it gain sticky attribute (so it
shown on every page/desktop, follow my page/desktop switching).

So with "emacs -q" and only "(desktop-save-mode 1)" this behavior reproduced.

(setq desktop-restore-frames nil) fix issue.

Here ~/.emacs.desktop which hold data that lead to sticky attribute:
