I've failed to convince the Desktop management to even move from
our closed source Motif 2.1 to OpenMotif - the only thing they
want to do with CDE is stop spending resources on it so they can
concentrate those resources on JDS.    Open sourcing CDE will
just allow the removal of CDE from Solaris to happen faster, since
then they can offer the open source release as an alternative to
customers who still want it.
