Ok, I think this is the trick: * copy /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources to /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources
* in the copied file, find the lines !! Dtlogin*altDtName1: Common Desktop Environment (CDE) !! Dtlogin*altDtKey1: /usr/dt/bin/dtwm !! Dtlogin*altDtStart1: /usr/dt/bin/Xsession !! Dtlogin*altDtLogo1: Dtlogo and uncomment them (remove the "!! " at the beginning). Repeat as needed, substituting for "C" in the pathnames of the file you're copying from/to the name of whatever other locale(s) you use. * svcadm disable svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default svcadm enable svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default (only one of the above can be enabled at any given time) It's possible I forgot to mention something I'd already done for myself a long time ago, but if I did, it's probably along the same lines. As has been previously stated, don't expect enough of CDE to stick around to be able to keep doing this. One solution would be to always keep a copy of /usr/dt and /etc/dt from an older build, in other directories. When enough goes away that it can't be made to work anymore, just loopback mount your old copies over the top of the new directories; that won't actually alter any files, but it may let the old stuff keep working. Just be sure to remove the loopback mounts before doing any upgrades, and restore them afterwards. Obviously that would be totally unsupported, but it would probably work. BTW, it's not so much CPU that GNOME eats up, as it is memory. With enough RAM (and perhaps some non-essential functionality disabled), it might not be that much slower than CDE.
