A description of what this fixes is here:

I'm not sure if making this change will affect us, as I don't think we
support saved states, although I could be wrong.

Is it possible for you to try a before and after test of how Emacs
handles saving the state over a reboot? That is, have a running Emacs
with open files and reboot, tick the "reopen windows when logging back
in" option, and see if it behaves differently with this patch applied
and not applied?

If it doesn't then I think this is probably safe and won't affect us,
so we should apply it. Otherwise we'll need to examine what's changed
and see if we can work around it.

Thanks!
