Woohoo!  Glad to hear it.

How about, "as good as CDE looks on anything else" :-)

Hey, it's CDE, it does stupid stuff.

I did some QA/tech support for the very first CDE implementation on
FreeBSD and Linux a long time ago.  Well, the first working one
anyways...

We got it working pretty well, even on our first release; but the
simple fact is that large swaths of the CDE source code needed to be
reviewed by someone who knew what he/she was doing.  Way too much junk
and grad-student level code.

Cordially
