Yes, that explains it. I always use Emacs in a Linux VT (a TTY),
and when I tried it in X, I had forgot that I had aliased 'emacs'
to 'emacs -nw'. I'm so used to Emacs looking like that, I didn't
notice. With '\emacs -Q' and a WM, I get the GUI window.

Yes, it is. I'm not afraid of my computer.

I know that stuff - now.
