Why?  There is no reason that the X server must be running on the same
host.

Shouldn't a window manager has xserver as dependency ?

2019-12-09 Thread aprekates

sudo apt-cache depends twm
twm
  Depends: menu
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libice6
  Depends: libsm6
  Depends: libx11-6
  Depends: libxext6
  Depends: libxmu6
  Depends: libxt6

$ sudo apt-cache show twm

Provides: x-window-manager

Description-en: Tab window manager
 twm is a window manager for the X Window System. It provides title bars,
 shaped windows, several forms of icon management, user-defined macro
 functions, click-to-type and pointer-driven keyboard focus, and
 user-specified key and pointer button bindings.

So my question is , shouldnt a window manager has the xserver as a 
depedency?
