Good idea! Just one line gives all necessary information about how to get
more help. We can even make it more visible by highlighting it in bold red.

Yes, seeing the startup screen after loading a desktop instead of the
last saved file is the same annoyance as for starting Emacs with a file.
Furthermore, loading a desktop means that the user has already seen the
startup screen at least once on the previous session before saving the
desktop.

Like for instance,
emacs --eval '(info)'
when the user wants to use the Emacs Info reader instead of the standalone
Info reader, and sees the startup screen instead of the Info buffer.
The standalone Info reader does not do such bad things.
