Ok.

I don't know if this function is able to return something meaningful in
a terminal.  At least it does not to do so at the moment (in the
current, unpatched bzr branch):

emacs -nw -Q

(window-inside-absolute-pixel-edges)

=> (32752 20946769 32850 20946817)

Should these functions (`window-absolute-pixel-edges' and
`window-inside-absolute-pixel-edges') return nil in a terminal ?
