See http://www.molgen.mpg.de/~wwwutz/Unix_Haters/x-windows.html. I'm
especially fond of this quote from Marus J. Ranum from DEC:
"If the designers of X-Windows built cars, there would be no
fewer than five steering wheels hidden about the cockpit,
none of which followed the same principles -- but you'd be
able to shift gears with your car stereo. Useful feature, that."
