The word "window" is uncritical. And to give you an argument and not
just an opinion why I wrote "X window system" please see

http://www.x.org/X11.html

and

http://www.xfree86.org/

A second pointer may be that there are "window manager" for X. May check

http://xwinman.org/

(but I hardly doubt I am telling personally you Martin anything new :)
