Works for me, probably related to Linux use of -ltirpc

Are you opening your own action or are you opening an action defined
by the system - they are all owned by root and read-only.

It adds some strange characters (tabs or sth.) - so formatting isn't
very good to me.

I'd like to have shutdown/reboot too.

Also what happens - very often (90% of cases?) when I log out in dtwm
the mouse in dtlogin is not working - the cursor stays and it cannot
be moved. I have to "tab" to the "Reset Login Session" and restart
the X server. Anyone else sees this?

CDE has extensive drag-n-drop support. Don't know how it works with GTK.

Seems like only CDE-aware programs can do it. The support for the
freedesktop.org extended window manager protocol will certainly
be a useful addition to dtwm

Personally I like CDE icons and it reminds me the ancient art
of making icons where you had to do it pixel-by-pixel.

dtwm can be extensively configured and you can probably get smaller
icons or other stuff. No idea about the clock (I'm fine with analog
one).
