== X.org Foundation Utilities ==The X.Org Server and xlib are the reference implementation of the X protocol, and is commonly used on Linux and UNIX; it is the fundamental technology underlying both the modern GNOME and KDE desktops and older CDE desktop environment; applications written for any of these environments can be run simultaneously.Along with reference implementation of X protocol X.org Foundation hosts development of several utilities and example applications, including xcalc on-screen calculator, xclock simple digital and analog clock, xedit text editor, xload periodically updated histogram of the average system load, xterm terminal emulator, and xeyes which shows a pair of eyes that follow the cursor. XWindows Desktop Clock aka Xclock comes installed on [[Linux Mint]].  One useful way to launch it is from the command line so that it detaches and remains when the terminal is closed. xclock -update 5 &gives you a nice little clock that updates every 5 seconds.  I run this on my secondary monitor desktop so that while running full screen software on the primary I can still monitor the time.
