    "Ribui"'s "diphtongue" is rather unpronouncable for -say-
    french peoples trying to guess how some english peoples
    would pronounce it.
    I think it's a major drawback, if in a conversation you say
    "I'm using Moonlight multiscreen patched Xserver" most will
    be able to google for it back home.
    Try "Ribui" in place of "Moonlight" ... the difference is clear.

    PS : Moonlight stands for anything common in english, I have no
    preference.
