Hello. 1. Window manager is a separate client. Word processor and Web browser do not use it directly. They talk to XOrg an XOrg consults Window manager (if any) asking it to draw window. Technically, you can run client even without of Window manager.
2. Drivers may be in Kernel or in Xorg itself. With modern installations you almost always have drivers inside of kernel, but Xorg can work with kernels that know nothing about your video (except it is VGA compatibility). 3. There is also session manager ( https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/libSM/xsmp.html), but it is fully optional Everything else look correct IMHO..
