This is because programmers, including me, don't understand what
wid-edit.el assumes.

What can wid-edit.el do with the "-nw" option? If it can do nothing, I
can conclude that wid-edit.el may be loaded in any situations but it
should not be loaded with the "-nw" option. Is this correct?

What about "image.el"? It should not be loaded with the "-nw" option,
right?
