Well, sure.  But X by itself is pretty unusable.  It needs
some additional "window manager" on top of that.

My point is that when using GUI's such as KDE or OS/2's
Workplace Shell, I've never seen much need to enhance the
GUI's capabilities with the kind of additional 3rd party
utilities that seem so common in the Windows world.

Cheers!  Hans
