After you double-click the X11 application, you are running X-windows. I think what you're asking for is a graphical environment. The graphical environment is a set of programs to give you such things as a task bar. X11 does not come with a default graphical environment. There are several you can install. The most common under Linux are Gnome and KDE. But, you don't need a graphical environment to run X programs. If the program is in your search path, you can just type its name into an xterm window to run it. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be February 25.
