That might have happend. I read/browsed a few times in the Elisp info
nodes since I am European and have to struggle like Laokoon with
charsets and encodings and other snails, and the words you use remind
me of things I have read or heard before ... in ads?
Is it that I compare strings? `window-system´ is documented as being, a
bit metaphorical, a symbol. The value can be an `x´, which looks like a
very short string. So I imagined a string comparison should be OK ...
Or is it that I do not quote the symbol?

Today I can't find the right pointer that would help my understanding
-- I am a bit old today too and Lisp (and other programming languages)
are hard to decipher and even harder to write for me. I think awk, sed,
and shell are fine for programming ...
