After consulting with Digia and ICS, I have decided that Motif is no
longer the proper toolkit for use in CDE.
As a result, we will begin migrating from the use of Motif in CDE to
the Qt Framework, probably version 5.3, when it is released sometime
this month.
Qt brings quite a lot of capabilities to the table in terms of font
and rendering support, OpenGL support, and a whole slew of other
capabilities that Motif simply does not handle.
Later today, I will begin committing the first patches - the first is
to convert to qmake, rather than imake for building. Once those
pieces are in place, we can begin the full conversion in earnest.
When the conversion is complete, CDE will be renamed to QCDE, in line
with it's Qt based roots.
I hope I can count on your support as we usher CDE (QCDE) into a new era.
