Subject: x-display-name confusion

Hi.

The documentation for x-display-name isn't very clear.  Currently, it is this:

"The X display name specifying server and X frame."

Is it supposed to give the X display on which Emacs was started, or the X display for the current frame?  I had been trying to use it for the latter.  (Of course, I should have used the "display" property of the current frame.)  In any case, I think the doc string for x-display-name is a bit ambiguous.

What do you think?
