To imply that minimized means the same thing as iconified, you need a comma after "iconified" (or put "'minimized'" in parens): Return the symbol `icon' if FRAME is iconified, or minimized. Return the symbol `icon' if FRAME is iconified (minimized). The second is clearer, not requiring readers to notice the comma and recognize how it changes parsing of the sentence. And you can remove the quotes around "visible", "minimized", and "taskbar".

Even if a frame is obscured by other frames (and is therefore not visible), I think this function will still say that it is "visible". So I think the sneer quotes are correct here.

On some platforms a frame might be iconified on the desktop, and the icon thus hidden by another frame. But on other platforms the icons are in a task bar or whatever, not covered by another frame. And I see no reason whatsover for quotes, sneer or otherwise, around "taskbar". > Closing. Fixing is what should be done.
