ALL of CDE is crap... take it from someone who worked at a company
with a source license that ported it to FreeBSD and Linux.  

I loaded up a 8MB mailbox in the mail client - it barfed after chewing
up a tremendous amount of swap; the ttdbserver daemon had security
holes.  And it used a lot of RAM.

It's pretty sad when the Enlightenment window manager looks to be less
resource-intensive than CDE...
