     I would say that the minimal DE is startx, others feature at least 
some menu and/or panel; all need a window manager (actually Xwindow 
requires a window manager) and all support the concept of a session with 
a startup and a termination. At least that's how I see how the concepts 
pile up; am I wrong?
