Re: X + WM != GUI? (Re: Convince me, please! - too much about GUI)

I am not following this.  If (X.org + some WM) is not a GUI,
how would you define


He probably equates a desktop environment (such as KDE/Gnome/etc.) to a GUI.


most people exactly equates that and i stated i that such defined GUI is 
completely useless and actually takes over time and resources.


but you are right - of course


Which is wrong, of course: GUI is just any form of graphical user
interface, which X fits nicely.

X+wm. X alone doesn't provide any GUI.
