[E-devel] e.org & "X Windows System"

From: David Mihm <dmihm@rc...> - 2001-06-09 04:23

Great looking new site, and kudos to the design team and it's contributors.
But one thing, and I'm surprised noone has caught this: on the front page it
says "...Enlightenment is a Window Manager for the X Windows System....", it's
"X Window System" - no "s" on Window.

I've also heard it referred to as the "X Windowing System".  But you're
right, certainly on http://www.x.org it is referred to with the singular
"window" rather than plural "windows".  I fear we have become corrupted
by subliminal marketing techniques.  =)
