On my machines there is a lot that is neither a browser nor an
xterm.
I do have a dozen or so xterm (actually rxvt and mrxvt) windows
open, and one or two browsers, but I also have several other apps
open most of the time:
emacs
gv (ghostview)
9menu (both the original and a modified version, yamenu)
gentoo (file manager)
xmms
These are often but not always open:
xboard (with or without gnuchess)
gimp
mplayer
xv/display
xpdf
