For a long time, everyone seemed to refer to X as X Windows.  There
were lots of comments explaining it's not called X Windows, it's a 
window system called X.  In the last year or so, I've seen many references
in magazines to "X Window".  Clearly such references are describing
the "X Window System".  Did "X Window" become an official name while
I wasn't looking?  Somehow, statements such as "One of the key advantages
of X Window is that..." don't look, sound, or feel right to me.
