Emacs desktop option to NOT restore frame position and size (alien.top)

I do use desktop-mode to restore my tab and window layouts and loaded buffers. I also switch workplaces regulary and use different monitor layouts with different scaling factors.

It would be great to use dekstop save mode without saving/restoring frame postion and size.

I am aware of desktop-restore-frames but unlike it's name, at least on Emacs 29, setting this to #f also doesn't restore tab configuration and window layouts what I don't want.

FWIW, setting something to #f in Emacs Lisp means you're setting it to TRUE, not FALSE. Elisp is not Scheme.
