Hmm.. it would be nice if people would stop calling it XWindows.
There is no such a thing.
man X plainly states:

       The X Consortium requests that the following names be used
       when referring to this software:

                                   X
                            X Window System
                              X Version 11
                      X Window System, Version 11
                                  X11


It's sad that so many are getting it wrong, but we don't have to
follow that trend :)
