If you do `C-x 5 2' and a new window system window pops up, you are
directly communicating with the window system.  If a new Emacs frame
named F2 pops up in the same terminal, you are not.

I in the meantime I found out that `xterm' indeed supports the control
and shifted variants of function keys, as Thomas Dickey pointed out.
I did not even know this.  The Gnome terminal I (used to) use does not
recognize these keys.  I believe I am going to switch to xterm.  That
works for me, because I am using GNU/Linux.  I do not know whether you
can use xterm on MS Windows, however.
