Yeah, as someone who built security UIs between development and production environments decades ago with MOTIF, I find it strange that people who program in MOTIF today do not know a "window manager" is.

Even more strange is the fact they don't know what a WM is even though they are using one!

Even a Linux user should know! For example, here is an article:

Best 20 Linux Window Managers: A Comprehensive List for Linux Users

Arch Linux Wiki on Window Managers

What are the best window managers for Linux? - 48 Listed

... and the original posts wrote, as I recall... "I use Sparky.... !!!"

Well, Sparky also uses Window Managers for GUI, see:

Sparky Linux - window manager

Seems "someone" may be over compensating by projecting "great knowledge" about something they do not really understand at all Smilie

GUI 
API(3m17n) The m17n Library GUI API(3m17n) NAME
GUI_API - API provided by libm17n-gui.so. Modules Frame A frame is an object corresponding to the graphic device. Font Font object. Fontset A fontset is an object that maps a character to fonts. Face A face is an object to control appearance of M-text. Drawing Drawing M-texts on a window. Input Method (GUI) Input method support on window systems. Detailed Description API provided by libm17n-gui.so. GUI support for a window system. This section defines the m17n GUI API concerning M-text drawing and inputting under a window system. All the definitions here are independent of window systems. An actual library file, however, can depend on a specific window system. For instance, the library file m17n-X.so is an example of implementation of the m17n GUI API for the X Window System. Actually the GUI API is mainly for toolkit libraries or to implement XOM, not for direct use from application programs.
