X Windows is a windowing system that is starting to become a standard.
It is similar in function to parts of the Mac toolbox, especially
QuickDraw & Window Manager.  X provides routines to open windows
and draw graphics and text.  One thing it does not do is provide
menus and window movement/resize features.  These are done by a
separate "Window Manager (not mac!).  This is a very simplistic
description.  If anyone would like to expand on it, please be my guest!
