Not  only  that, If  I  am  running  any  sub-processes, or any  other
external programs connected  to emacs  via a  buffer like  Common LISP
etc.  there is not  way to create them  using desktop feature. desktop
only allows to visit files  that you were  visiting an create buffers.
I also have  the  same problem  of   waiting 15  to 20 minutes   every
morining!

I would love to see such a feature in Emacs where I can keep the
Emace process just suspended (without killing it) and detach it from
any X server and/or terminals. Then attatch it after I login into
another terminal.
