+     On Windows NT/9X, to avoid wasting effort updating visible frames
+     that are actually completely obscured by other windows on the
+     display, we bend the meaning of visible slightly: if greater than
+     1, then the frame is obscured - we still consider it to be
+     "visible" as seen from lisp, but we don't bother updating it.  We
+     must take care to garbage the frame when it ceaces to be obscured
+     though.  Note that these semantics are only used on NT/9X.
+
      iconified is nonzero if the frame is currently iconified.
 
      Asynchronous input handlers should NOT change these directly;
