Absolutely, and while most people here don't care about those, I'm sure they
appreciate the work done by developers paid by the makers of enterprise distros
like RHEL, SLES, and Solaris, funded by those customers.

But then, I still see plenty of bug reports coming in for the ancient Xaw apps
from X.Org, like xdm & twm, from users of all sorts of distros - so there are
users out there - maybe not running them on their cell phones with Meego, but
there are probably more people running those apps than are running Meego.
