X - window manager - desktop
Hello all,
I have a question regarding how linux sets up a GUI interface. As far as I
can understand this, the first thing it needs to do is run the X server. I'm
going to guess here and I will say that a window manager runs on top of the
X? What exactly is a window manager? twm, enlightment, sawfish ... I guess
some of these are the names and I've been using sawfish but I really can't
say I know what it does.
Then there is the desktop like gnome or kde which are just desktops. Can
anyone explain this to me?
