Greg's talking about "Traditional X Sessions" from HP-UX Unix boxes in the late 80s / early 90s (I forget exactly when it showed up). He's not talking about "Traditional X Sessions" in the sense of "as opposed to Wayland" (or otherwise, "as implemented in Linux for the last 25 years or so"). -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: DDAB 23FB 19FA 7D85 1CC1 E067 6D65 70E5 4CE7 2860
