Hello.
1. Window manager is a separate client. Word processor and Web
browser do not use it directly. They talk to XOrg an XOrg consults
Window manager (if any) asking it to draw window. Technically, you
can run client even without of Window manager.
2. Drivers may be in Kernel or in Xorg itself. With modern
installations you almost always have drivers inside of kernel, but
Xorg can work with kernels that know nothing about your video (except
it is VGA compatibility).
3. There is also session manager
(<https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/libSM/xsmp.html>), but it is
fully optional
Everything else look correct IMHO..

Hello all. I am writing a lesson for the Linux Professional
Institute on a basic X Window System setup. Part of that lesson
includes a simple diagram of an X installation. I have pieced this
together from the X.org documentation and a video of a talk by James
Gettys. Nonetheless, I wish to make sure that what I have is not
misrepresenting the structure of an X installation. I know that
there is more to an X setup than what I have depicted here, but I
want to make sure that what is in the image is at least correct.
Thanks in advance for any help on the matter!
