I'm just trying to think of someone new to J. For them IJX & IJS don't convey 
any meaning of what each window for, and for the Gtk IDE anyway, there are no 
IJX files involved anymore.

My suggestions:

Gtk IDE
Term --> J Session
Edit --> J Editor   (jEdit is already taken!)

JHS IDE
jijx --> (url) jsession  (page title)J Session 
jijs --> (url) jeditor   (page title) -leave as script name

Agreed!
