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

[Richard Stallman]

    I belive this is because command-line-1 only inserts the
    initial-scratch-message if the scratch buffer is selected. Restoring a
    desktop buries the scratch buffer. The following patch would fix this.
    It reverts the behaviour to what it was before rev 1.270 of
    startup.el.

This change was made for a reason.  Just reverting it is not a
solution.
