IXI sells X.desktop.

Freedom software sells a desktop product.

Visix offers a desktop product called Looking Glass.

A product called G.R.E.A.T. may qualify.

The CDE environment offered by several vendors (or in earlier versions from
HP and SAIC) offers a desktop environment. According to the alt.windows.cde
