Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

Desktop Environment File

The CDE desktop provides a run-time environment for the OpenWindows DeskSetTM applications. 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.
