Not sure what you mean by "terminal hooks".  They all accept a pointer
to a frame, no?

What do you mean by single-backend-only?  There will be several
implementations, one each for every backend.  It's not a catastrophe,
and I don't see how to solve it without ugly ifdef's or even more
complications.  Doesn't sound justified, as long as no one is working
on allowing the same session create frames on different
window-systems.

I guess it's as good as any other.
