Yes, you've nailed it (source: I'm the speaker tonight). Actually one
of the inspirations for this talk has been the number of times I've
had to explain the difference between no desktop and no X server - It
seems like the distinction isn't well known and so a lot of people are
using suboptimal tools for their use cases.

To be perfectly direct: this talk is about using Linux effectively on
your workstation with X but without Gnome or the like. Some things may
be applicable to headless environments, but that's not the focus.

Hope to see you all there!
