I'm interested in hearing from people who are working on "desktop
managers" using the X Window System. By "desktop manager" I mean a
client which gives an iconic representation (a la the Macintosh
interface) onto the UNIX file system and knows how to perform
operations on different types of objects (i.e. clicking on an
executable causes execution whereas on a ".c" file causes a text editor
to be invoked). One system that provides this is Counterpoint - which
I looked at briefly at UNIFORUM.
