CDE is an X11-based user environment jointly developed by HP, IBM, and Sun through the X/Open consortium, with an interface and productivity tools based on the Motif graphical widget toolkit. It was supposed to be an intuitively easy-to-use desktop computer environment.[5] The K was originally suggested to stand for "Kool", but it was quickly decided that the K should stand for nothing in particular. The KDE initialism is therefore expanded to "K Desktop Environment"." ;-) Cheers Michele -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJWftXDAAoJECp1t8qK3tXPum0P/2sXq//vD+zb5i4mBSE9hTNP /QkonyltvZMzQ8pgJo8M5olsfIl78sHxQXTmDDw0F7NA4vTOw/nlDmBEYm5ts81A OeiyTqC94tM8MNxKYLcipULVtSsLxlntkyPbeDjfac3f87UHOLmA9UVanVLG6hGU MjHi8L8ehZxdOlK43H35zOeUzqPcZiw53WdZfPQv37+gPArI/wZOW8HZHY0JQwdZ +2RaW2s4E9Z6zmEOWszUyg6Dbhah8g+tKmM3CXL+KXm4QtfyXpVgRj72UxjuwJEB LBuzv8K15Frh9wj9oR5h8uMgYegS6YnCPAZErANwgfgHech7ythqvm7GtafN79fb suGoYAVetaT1eN+nr35K1q+Zam4xTihX5ah3w9xBfm7idCEQMJWnK9NAdOVxn8vQ qG2zL8zEon8ZpTiSvxcwIx95jM+ozbdzdbGpI/geAzYC/+fdX6g4bq+XSJLXsJr7 gAYjZrhqTiJM0FtJAcN93IDYXkww6I1PIJBiy7YzOElw7CYKQQr3sKTNRepqYxZg SKW0cSEhpyJF+0icQRbcyFypKLk9rbt34ufNAZwn7fbyl+yF9i53UggScCfN6VXg NTuUTsgSUVOHRyMqtyPeuu69DVd2Abxoe0EmtcPe8/k/dZ3428h3EGURDyYemOYU KGpBCaYBGL8QwHq/8caB =DeFW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
