I must agree that I do not like window-state and frame-state, just like
I don't like window-configuration and frame-configuration:
to my ear, a "window state" or a "window configuration" sounds like
the state/config of a single window, rather than that of all the windows
in a frame.
IOW I'd find "frame-state" to be more fitting for what we now call
window-state/configuration.
Conclusion: these names are confusing.
I'm not sure what would be a good name for those things, but a better
name than what we have would be to simply use the plural form:
windows-state & frames-state.
