In this case the /usr/bin/Xtightvnc is a user command, because it's
installed under /usr/bin. Non-user commands get installaed elsewhere,
like /var/lib/<package>

Usually yes, but it can be invoked directly. This happens in cases where
you need to debug things, and reduce layers that may affect the command
invocation.

Having all user callable programs, how seldom callable they be, in
lowercase would be more clean approach[1]. It would 1)reduce typing
mistakes both in command line and scripts 2) allow TAB completion to
work and 3) would not create special cases; e.g. for find(1)
