I knew that.  Doh! I think I can safely blame that one on lack of sleep,
given I had about an hour, that day, and about the same the previous day.

But simply "Linux" in the common parlance.  Otherwise, to be fair, given
KDE as the graphical desktop environment, but using GTK for pan, I'd
certainly have to say pan/GTK/KDE/x.org/GNU/Linux, to cover
app/toolkit/DE/graphical-platform/OS-utils/kernel, application stack order
from app to kernel.

I agree with Stallman in most cases, even giving him my sig-quote,
but this isn't one of them.
