X.desktop[1] was an early desktop environment graphical user interface built on the X Window System. It was developed and sold during the late 1980s and early 1990s by IXI Limited, a British software house based in Cambridge. Versions of X.desktop were available for over 30 different UNIX operating system platforms[2] and it was licensed to various vendors, including Compaq, Locus Computing Corporation, BiiN and Acorn Computers.[3] Early version of X.desktop used Xlib and the Athena widgets; from version 2.0 onwards it was based on the Motif toolkit.[2]
