The categories could be discussed as well. ;-) I'm not sure we need a
distinction between window managers and other applications in terms of
categories. They all just need an X server - pretty much any X server
- although some do rely on certain parts of the XFree86 distribution
on the machine where they're executing. (Where this is the case they
should have dependencies in setup.hint/setup.ini of course.)
