Moin,
There is one system left I'm checking out the build for - Linux From
Scratch. I'm building it right now (the system. Not CDE yet).
I have ten days of vacation coming up, I was thinking about what to do.
I'm completely useless at sitting around idly for more than two days. So I

If you do this, please keep in mind that the "C" in CDE stands for
"Common". At least udev is a Linux-only thing as far as I r
How about modern font support?

Hi Antonis,
I think there was never anything wrong with X11 font support, until people
started asking for Comic Sans. You have to be careful what you include or
you'll end up with a huge behemoth that has hundreds of dependencies
because every beep needs to have its own library these days. In the

Openmotif, from version 2.3 onwards has xft font support built in without
any extra dependancies, that CDE can use pretty much directly.
I last had a go at making this work during the porting effort to Linux
before the open source release. This was before I had the regular CDE font
specifiers work

Since it's a Motif program, it would seem to be the best choice if we're
needing a mixer for CDE. I don't think it's absolutely necessary for
CDE to have a mixer thoug

I don't see a problem there, unless you are trying to tell me that
xterm doesn't work properly on OpenBSD either. xterm has been
rewritten with utmpx support ages ago and I haven't heard a single

What speaks against implementing it in a similar fashion in dtterm?

It is not a problem to have something optional. The problem is that
font handling is so difficult.
Moreover it is not that I want Comic Sans (as someone else wrote)
but look: you buy a quality font, say Lucida Grande (remember that Lucida
was always shipped with CDE at least on Solaris) and you c
I would say that a mixer is needed only if it can be embedded in the
main panel.
Otherwise, pavucontrol does the job (at least with pulse).

The client must be launched at startup (e.g. from
~/.dt/sessions/sessionetc), since dtwm only takes care of reparenting
the window.

Hi, I just tested it on FreeBSD (don't have a Linux VM), but that
shouldn't make much difference in this case.
Make sure you're getting the right client name with:
$ xprop | grep WM_CLASS
The output for the chosen window should be something like:
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xclock", "XClock"
