As it is now, the freedesktop.org xlibs are very useful for installing
various X clients. This can help with systems that do not need a full X,
but do have a few required software that need some X libraries. I have
been using various X clients (like rxvt and aterm) on some remote systems
(using freedesktop.org xlibs).
