The question is, what is the more common use-case?

The other behavior (try to restore the frame in its original display)
is already implemented. I can remove that code, but I wouldn't like to
do it unless there are reports of trouble.

It could be customized, of course. We could change the meaning of
desktop-save-windows (currently a boolean flag), to have:

- t : restore all frames in their displays
- local-state: only frames already in the current display
- current-display: restore frames in the current display

etc. (with better names)
