Especially check out this section: 10.2 Intro: What is X * I assume, what you mean by 'desktop environment' is GNOME/KDE/WindowMaker etc. Then, this will also be useful in enlightening you: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2005/08/25/whatisXwindow.html?page=1 To quote, as a direct reply to your answer: <quote>The desktops go further than a window manager in providing an integrated graphical environment where all applications and windows have a common look and feel. The desktop environments also include session management, for saving and restoring your work sessions. But if you look underneath, you'll still find the X Window System managing the display, and you'll find a window manager sitting between X and the desktop.</quote> Hope This Helps :) -- With Regards Parthan.S.R.
