    Very good spirit to maintain this desktop environment and it must be quite a huge work. It's not difficult to add apps to the apps manager but a bit difficult to link icons to them. An occasion to look at MWM and related projects (EMWM), Xresources and read man pages also. So it's really unix ! Well a bit of nostalgia and it made me rediscover old X tools like xclipboard.

    When I was young, I could not afford any commercial UNIX workstation running CDE. I used to dream about CDE while typing away on MS Word on Windows 3.11. It's amazing to see how much desktop scene has evolved and CDE has aged quite well

    Please keep going. Good job. I propose an Common Desktop Environment ISO for tests.

    Really good to see CDE still working. My Raspberry Pi now looks just like an old HP 9000 or RS/6000. Excellent.

    I use CDE on my home laptop running FreeBSD. Thank you
