	I posted a comment on /. to this story basically saying that all 
the vendors who were using CDE should be moving to XFce and not 
reinventing the wheel.  Imagine my amazement when the comment was mod'ed 
up to 3!!!  Normally a comment with valid, topical information is mod'ed 
down.  I really wish I had some kind of contact with Sun & IBM and others 
who use CDE now to get them to really look at XFce.  Unfortunately I am 
just a worthless slug...
