I prefer "window" for the simple reason that doing so will most
probably wreak the least havoc on TTY display, in particular because
it won't invalidate the assumption that only one frame is visible at
any given time.  Also, frames can have decorations, even on a TTY,
which we are better without in this case.  And finally, you most
probably remember that TTY redisplay is frame-based, so having just
one of them would fit better.

Should be a nice project.  Any takers?
