We are talking about restarting Emacs from the session manager.  So far no one 
has come up with a better solution.  Should we start an Emacs process for each 
unique default-directory?  Pick one at random?  Ignore the problem and let the 
session manager descide?

Put up a solution that addresses the problems:

Desktop file isn't loaded.
*scratch* and *Messages* and more get the wrong default directory.

It is nice of you to let us know that you don't care about getcwd, but not 
very helpful.
