Browse source 
* doc/emacs/misc.texi (Saving Emacs Sessions):

customizations in the init file, and explain how to countermand
that.  For the details of the issue, see

those are drawn by the toolkit and not directly by Emacs.
Note that if you are using the desktop library to save and restore
your sessions, the frames to be restored are recorded in the desktop
file, together with their parameters. When these frames are restored,
the recorded parameters take precedence over the frame parameters
specified by @code{default-frame-alist} and @code{initial-frame-alist}
in your init file. @xref{Saving Emacs Sessions}, for how to avoid
that.

@vindex frameset-filter-alist
When the desktop restores the frame and window configuration, it
uses the recorded values of frame parameters, disregarding any
settings for those parameters you have in your init file (@pxref{Init
File}). This means that frame parameters such as fonts and faces for
the restored frames will come from the desktop file, where they were
saved when you exited your previous Emacs session; any settings for
those parameters in your init file will be ignored. To disable this,
customize the value of @code{frameset-filter-alist} to filter out the
frame parameters you don't want to be restored.
