It seems that it's needed (see commit 96e78d1fb) for both X and W32, so
I wouldn't be surprised if NS needs the change as well, or, at least, if
it doesn't matter for that port.

Done.

A gui_term.c might be beneficial in the future, but I'm not sure it
should be the place for RIF procedures like these. I attached an updated
patch that currently puts them in terminal.c (beside update_begin and
update_end), but I think a better place would be to put them beside
update_window in dispnew.c. WDYT?
