    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
