So in your case, Emacs starts in text mode? That is, it opens its
display in the same window as the shell from which you invoked Emacs?
A GUI frame (a.k.a. "window") is a separate window, and it includes
such GUI elements as menu, tool bar (a row of buttons with small icons
on them), and vertical scroll bar. Is that what you see?
