Working With X Clients
X clients
are applications that are displayed on an X server. X clients consist
of one or more window managers and other applications. The X clients
can run on the same system as an X server or run on a different system.
The X Window System allows you to run any number of clients simultaneously.
The following table lists some of the X clients.
