Desktop Environment File

The CDE desktop provides a run-time environment for the OpenWindows DeskSet^TMapplications. Nothing special needs to be done to the CDE setup for this capability. Some of this environment setup is provided by the following file:

	/usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/0015.sun.env

If you need to add to or subtract from this environment setup for a particular workstation, this file can be either edited in place or copied first to the following file location:

	/etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/0015.sun.env 

One example of an addition would be the start-up of the old OpenWindows virtual keyboard for use by the OpenWindows DeskSet applications. Since most applications on a CDE desktop (and the majority of Sun users) do not use this virtual keyboard utility program, it was left out of the default start sequence to improve overall desktop start-up performance.

See comments in the 0015.sun.env file for additional information on the optional OpenWindows virtual keyboard (vkdb) start-up.
