They are only used as a fallback if your chosen theme doesn't have a 
particular <window> definition.


If the theme is a wide theme then the search for the <window> will go 
look in the theme first then fallback to default-wide and finally try 
default.


If the theme is a 4:3 theme the the search will look in the theme first 
then try default.


To test them you can rename the <window> or comment it out in the active 
theme so the fallback will work. It doesn't always look good because of 
differences in the base elements but it's considered better that not 
working at all.
