Girts,
this may be of interest to you. I've recently been in discussion
with the Open Group about releasing CDE and Motif under a fully
open license. TOG have been quite positive about the idea, but
there are still some sticking points.
for what? That's 10+ years too late ;-)
Perhaps, but during those ten years GNOME is still way behind CDE in
terms of performance. For example, switching between virtual
desktops in GNOME is abysmally slow. On a 500 MHz SunBlade 100
running CDE switching between virtual desktop is almost
instantaneous. Doing the same on a 2GHz AMD box running GNOME I have
to endure watching each and every window getting redrawn one by one.
It's a joke.
If the performance of JDS/GNOME could improve only a little bit I'd
switch in a heartbeat. I could live with the redrawing bugs of
metacity but performance is really key. I don't know how CDE manages
to switch virtual desktops so quickly but the knowledge must have
been lost in the mists of time.
