The JDS team is working to provide the CBE and the Sun patches needed to
build the desktop, so is it similarly straightforward for someone to
build the Xserver for Solaris? Does the Xserver team apply patches,
use nondefault build options, or otherwise modify the Xserver

Agreed :)

Joerg,
I'm not sure what you mean by Solaris / CDE in this context?
To reiterate what we are planning and to try clarify things (I hope) :
JDS, as a desktop platform, is essentially GNOME, in that we take GNOME
packages
and apply patches (which include bug fixes, some features and branding)

Yes, we ship GDM2 with Solaris. CDE login is the default login program
in Solaris. I'm not sure what

I don't think anyone knows the answer to that yet, but I'm pretty sure
The only thing I have heard about JDS development is that the focus
was shifting to JDS/Solaris instead of JDS/Linux. Are you certain
about this? Can you quote a source?
I don't think SUN would speak this out that directly.
They aimed to create an alternate to Windows:
While I respect that is your opinion, please don't
start KDE vs. GNOME
flamewars using inflammatory language.
hey, they are so much fun...:-)
and I have to admit that gnome developers have no regard for portability. kde

My two cents (from someone who has been using Linux desktops since the late
90's):
since JDS stayed behind the expectations.
JDS never took off b/c imho it was based on a platform (GPL/Linux) that was,
on hindsight, never suitable for a desktop OS. A desktop involves as much
hardware as it
I know this topic can easily lead to a flame war, but
I don't think my message has the potential to start
one. You see, I also told what I like on Gnome, that
KDE isn't perfect, and that I prefer KDE.
But I accept people who don't like it (flavours are
different).
