Regardless of how things currently are (we currently have a big mess in this respect), we should follow the following convention: - if it's a feature specific to X11, W32, NS, ... then use a name that starts with "x-", "w32-", "ns-", ... - if it's a feature that makes sense everywhere, then don't use such a prefix (even if it's only implemented for some of the backends).
If we follow that convention, I think we need another prefix for functions/variables that are common across window systems that can be used in the test to avoid warnings/errors in cus-start.el for tty only builds. Currently we usually use x- for these, since historically most such features started on X and were ported to other window systems later.
