Then I vote for "x11-wm" rather than "x11-wms".  In most the window
managers they use "wm" for windowmanager and I think most people have
gotten used to this.  When I first saw "wms" I was trying to process this
as a TLA (three letter anacronym).

Says David.  So, is "x11-wm", "x11-fm", "x11-widgets" and "deskutils"
ok for everyone?
