Summarizing the distro offerings: Fedoras/SuSE offer mtr/-gtk (X),
Debians offer mtr (X)/-tiny, FreeBSD offers mtr (X)/-nox11, and
NetBSD offers mtr only without X.
So mtr is ambiguous as it may mean with/without X.
Alternatives mtr-tiny/nox11 and mtr-gtk have the advantages of being
unambiguous and already in use elsewhere, unless there are reasons
to prefer to follow Fedora for consistency in naming?
