Actually this is not what this is about. There seems to be a confusion
with the splash screen. The point here is that the *scratch* buffer is
empty. (Where it is in the buffer list does not matter.) You could
argue that there is no point in a *scratch* buffer, if desktop
reverted a session. But in that case it shouldn't exist at all.

Even if you discount my wacky attachment for the scratch message, it
*is* a little bit puzzling why the *scratch* buffer is empty in that
case and because the reason is not evident (to me it still isn't) it
*does* seem a little bit as if Emacs were in an inconsistent state
after restoring the desktop.
