Old Diesel warmup time

What would be, from your experience, the best way to start and idle your Diesel engine to warm-up before leaving?

This is my first winter with my 300TD '79 Estate (617.912 engine) and it seems that now I have to press the acceleration pedal before turning the key to start when the engine is cold.

I remember that VW recommended a time from 2-3 minutes of warmup idling for their diesel engines before leaving but I need to know what's best for a Mercedes Diesel which acts and feels pretty much different from it's VW counterparts.
