CDE is a classic UNIX desktop, but it has long been since viable for modern usages.

Xfce, in truth, was a modern replacement for it using Xforms since Motif was, at the time, under a different license. It bears the same classic layout minus some differences.

However, last I had heard CDE was still unstable with some operations.

Subject: [DNG] A better default windows manager

Guys what about a true UNIX and complete desktop environment to be the
'default' desktop for devuan 2.0?

here's what i'm talking about:

http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/Home/
http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/What%20is%20CDE%3F/

"CDE was designed with end users, software developers, and system
administrators in mind. It gives end users a consistent, customizable,
network-aware graphical user interface across workstations and PCs. CDE
gives software developers a single set of graphical user interface (GUI)
and desktop programming interfaces for all platforms that support the X
Window System,TM simplifying the task of creating and distributing
cross-platform applications."

"CDE includes session management, window and workspace management,
graphical file and object management, transparent data interchange
across platforms and applications, multi-user collaboration, desktop
productivity tools, a context-sensitive help system, an on-line
documentation browser, network services, an application builder,
industry-standard graphical user interface toolkits, and configuration
and management utilities."

The source code to the programs and libraries are released under the GNU
LGPL 2.0 or later.
Motif is under the LGPL as well.

Complete and Free. Just waiting for us to use and improving it.
