Who should attend


This tutorial aims to give the non-expert an overview of using the X-Window System, its capabilities and 
drawbacks, and where to go for further information. It will NOT cover programming with the X-environment.  
Participants will be assumed to have had some exposure to a window system, though not necessarily to have 
programmed in such an environment.



Summary of Tutorial



The X-Window System is a de facto standard non-proprietary window system which is now supported by a wide 
range of suppliers and will be increasingly important in the future.  The tutorial will provide:

* an overview of the fundamental principles, components and overall architecture of the X-Window System

* a description of how the end users can configure the environment to their own needs

* describe some useful tools that are available using the X-Window System.
