Sorry for multiple posts.
I am banging my head over multiple accounts, posting styles and
X-Message-SMTP-Method etc. Gnus is awesome only because I can edit my
mail within Emacs. Otherwise it's just ...

Works fine on Debian/Squeeze x86 and Emacs Bzr trunk.
The package I installed is gnutls-doc. I can see the image just fine,
if I do
(info "(gnutls) TLS layers")
The header says this:

My motivation for the post was the thread in help list and a recurrent
confusion between a frame and a window.
It is easier to show
- a window
- a frame
- a minibuffer
- a header line
- a mode line
with a single shot rather than explain it in Glossary.
Btw, looking at Glossary for Window, I am surprised that I don't know
what (q.v.) stands for. The Emacs crowd *was* scholarly and academic
and it is to some extent even so today. But using things like q.v. etc
and assuming that it will be understood by *lay* crowd is a bit too much
for the asking...
,----
| Window
| Emacs divides a frame (q.v.) into one or more windows, each of
| which can display the contents of one buffer (q.v.) at any time.
| *Note Screen::, for basic information on how Emacs uses the screen.
| *Note Windows::, for commands to control the use of windows. Some
| other editors use the term "window" for what we call a `frame'
| (q.v.) in Emacs.
