I did. My function is as follows:

(defun is-current-frame-x ()
  (message "window system is %s" (princ (window-system (selected-frame))))
  (equal 'x (window-system (selected-frame)))
  )

when called on the before-make-frame-hook, and the after-make-frame-functions
hook the result is always nil.

In essence I want to hook when a frame is created and determine
if it is an X or tty frame. This might not be the right path,
but the results are strange ?
