X11 isn't the mother of desktop according to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System#Predecessors

"X originated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1984."

"Several bitmap display systems preceded X. From Xerox came the Alto
(1973) and the Star (1981). From Apollo Computer came Display Manager
(1981). From Apple came theLisa (1983) and the Macintosh (1984). The
Unix world had the Andrew Project (1982) and Rob Pike's Blit terminal
(1982)."
