Essentially yes. I thought at least the graphics could be generated before the first frame is created. Seems that the window system is only initialized when the first graphical frame is created. The only workaround seems to be to only restore the last opened buffers after the first graphical frame is created. > I am not sure if it is a technical limitation or just a mere > omission. You may consider asking on emacs-devel. Sure, for now that's just annoying but not an issue.
