Yow! You're right. So I _still_ need to use window-system,
deprecated or not. The non-deprecated solution is indeed semantically
different, just as you say, and it doesn't do what I want.

Absolutely. This is exactly the behavior I want and the behavior I
was getting by checking window-system.

Yep.

I've been trying to make this argument for awhile now, so far without
luck. Maybe you'll do better....

Sounds good to me. In any case I'm glad at least one other person
out there understands that it's useful to conditionalize emacs l&f
based on the windowing system under which it's running.
