If you want some messages to be displayed, you should be able to
sprinkle your init file with them, right?  You can also define a
desktop-after-read-hook function to display something, if you want.
Assuming this will make the frame display something, why impose your
personal preferences on everyone?  I'm not aware of any complaints
about what happens when desktop.el restores a session (one more reason
to consider your case a rare one).

Yes.  Assuming my guess is correct, I'm okay with removing that.
