    CDE Readme

A small nitpick from the CDE package:

$ grep Xsession /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/cde
     $ echo "/usr/local/dt/dt/bin/Xsession" >>~/.xsession
     $ startx /usr/local/dt/dt/bin/Xsession
     $ echo "/usr/local/dt/dt/bin/Xsession" >>~/.xinitrc

The dt directory is doubled in the path for Xsession. That might prompt 
some questions on the mailing list.

CDE has been working pretty well for me. It's installed on an internal 
workstation where I mostly use the shell. Despite it's dated look, CDE 
has a fairly polished look, and is absolutely tiny compared to other 
desktops. I don't expect there's going to be much new Motif development, 
but the provided apps are enough. Thanks for putting the port out there.

Cheers,
