Increasingly, there are programs that require X for no particular good
reason. For example, why does RealPlayer 10 require it? If you want to
play an audio (not video) clip, why should you be required to load X?
So you can watch a stupid dancing lights display screen ... nobody
wants just music.
Now if they wanted to usefull ... a nice transitor radio and a swimsuit
girl would display walking
on the beach instead for 60's music. :D
The stupid thing is things like real player are not open source so you
can't built it the way you want!
