But the current "frame-configuration" doesn't mean the layout of
a single frame. IIUC, "frame" here is an adjective. The same is
for "window-configuration". Then "frame-layout" and "window-layout"
would be fine too. Actually you can see this terminology already in
(info "(gnus) Window Layout") and ecb-layout-defs.el
(that also allow percentage for window/frame sizes that
would be useful when restoring in non-matching setups
with different monitor sizes.)
OTOH, I missed what is wrong with the existing names
"frame-configuration" and "window-configuration"?
Do we need a new terminology because "window-configuration"
has too wide scope, so a new term like "layout"
would be more specific about positioning windows/frames?
I mean does the following describes the state of affairs:
window-configuration = window-layout + non-layout parameters
