    I agree that the Xf in Xfce ( originally XFCE ) stands for XForms ( or did originally ). You do not think that the X in XForms stands for X11 though?

    XForms is a port of the Forms library ( originally a GL based SGI toolkit ) to X11. I do not know for sure but it seems pretty obvious that the X in XForms stands for X11.

    Once we all move to Wayland, the Xfce name will carry quite a bit of history in its name. I kind of like that.
