Thanks for the help. I defined the X11ProjectRoot variable as you suggested and it works. I am writing this mail running CDE on my NetBSD box.
However, I cannot use dtlogin. When I try to start it, it falls into an endless loop with a constantly changing cursor, i.e. it tries to initialize itself, but never comes up with the login prompt. Perhaps this problem is also due to incorrect paths in the configuration files, but I didn't look it further yet. The rest of CDE works flawlessly. Can you give me a hint on where to look for the dtlogin problem? Perhaps the files /usr/dt/config need to be adjusted. In the meantime I start CDE using xdm.
