Yes, it is more clear. Can we replace the expression "window-system's window" by "graphical application" if appropriate? The former expression is a bit of jargon. See the following rewording. On a graphical terminal we distinguish two types of frames. A normal "top-level frame" is a usual graphical application; this Emacs frame may be directly managed by the window system. A child frame is a kind of special frame that depends on another frame and is handled by Emacs. [Elisp manual, chapter 19. Frames] On a graphical terminal we distinguish two types of frames: A normal “top-level frame” is a frame whose window-system window is a child of the window-system’s root window for that terminal. A child frame is a frame whose window-system window is the child of the window-system window of another Emacs frame. *Note Child Frames*.
