These are okay, they don't use "non-window frames" (with the single
exception of the doc string which I already fixed, and you probably
have the old version of).  They use other terminology, which has its
place.  "Windows-system" is our terminology for the various GUI
environments, and "window redisplay" (as opposed to "frame redisplay")
is correct terminology for GUI redisplay, where each window has its
own glyph matrix and manages its memory, see the large comment at the
beginning of xdisp.c.
