Uhm.
One more thing: I think this whole wm/de thing is a useless
distinction that never should have been made.
I suppose I count as an old fart, because I was around twenty-plus
years ago, when it was made.
So do you want a history lesson, or do you want to go on just being
right?
I'm not sure the preceding sentence yields a mutual exclusivity, but
yes, I really would like that history lesson, as this is something that
has bothered me for a long time.

I would say that the minimal DE is startx, others feature at least
some menu and/or panel; all need a window manager (actually Xwindow
requires a window manager) and all support the concept of a session with
a startup and a termination. At least that's how I see how the concepts
pile up; am I wrong?
