Re: Startup screen default directory

    When desktop-mode is active, then after loading the desktop file and
    restoring all saved files, the startup screen have the default directory
    set to the directory of the last restored file.  Since the last file is
    not visible (only the startup screen is shown), this leaves to wonder
    why the default directory of the startup screen is set to some arbitrary
    directory.  This is very confusing.  I propose to set the default
    directory of the startup screen to the directory where Emacs was run.

That seems like a good idea.

However, maybe desktop.el should switch to the restored buffers.  If
someone is restoring an old desktop, he has seen the splash screen
before, and has probably used Emacs for some time.
There is no need to show him the startup screen again.
