Hmm, this sounds a but like the 90's; Clearly you're forgetting
- D-BUS
- HAL
- NetworkManager
- Avahi
- CUPS
just to name a few crucial "system" components of the Linux desktop de
jour. I'm not sure why you think the Window or Session Manager are so
important either, sure, we don't want to lose them, but, really X
applications can survive when these temporarily goes away - it just
doesn't look very pretty.
