Because I never realized that this aspect has such a profound meaning
for you. Most people to whom I explained this in the past were
convinced by the other issues I mentioned in this thread.

There's a significant difference: system-type has a precise and fixed
meaning -- the OS on which Emacs runs -- while window-system's
semantics is vague and changes with time.

Hopefully, they will in the future. In the meantime, you could pick
up the simple definitions of the display-*-p functions from Emacs,
which I think should work in XEmacs with minimal changes, and plant
them into your .emacs conditioned on XEmacs.

You are welcome. It's sometimes hard to know what will be the
convincing argument; sorry I didn't think about this one before.
