From Understanding The Linux Kernel

Unix is a multiprocessing operating system with preemptable processes. Even when no user is logged in and no application is running, several system processes monitor the peripheral devices. In particular, several processes listen at the system terminals waiting for user logins. When a user inputs a login name, the listening process runs a program that validates the user password. If the user identity is acknowledged, the process creates another process that runs a shell into which commands are entered. When a graphical display is activated, one process runs the window manager, and each window on the display is usually run by a separate process. When a user creates a graphics shell, one process runs the graphics windows and a second process runs the shell into which the user can enter the commands. For each user command, the shell process creates another process that executes the corresponding program.

What does "graphics shell" mean here?

Is gnome shell a graphics shell?

Is my earlier question Where does "graphical shell" stand in the hierarchy of "windowing system, window manager, desktop environment"? related to the one here? The question links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(computing)#GUI, which says

Graphical shells provide means for manipulating programs based on graphical user interface (GUI), by allowing for operations such as opening, closing, moving and resizing windows, as well as switching focus between windows. Graphical shells may be included with desktop environments or come separately, even as a set of loosely coupled utilities.

Does "the shell" near the end mean a "graphics shell"? Is it a command line shell running in a terminal emulator?

Thanks.
