A blast from the past. I used so many applications based on it back in the day. Xfce, CDE and XForms FTW.
> The project started in 1997 when Olivier Fourdan decided that he wanted a desktop on Linux that resembled the CDE-based HP machines he used at work. Using XForms, a popular X toolkit at the time, he wrote a CDE-like panel to use with fvwm. With obvious ambitions to grow the tool, he called it XFCE: XForms Common Environment. Within a year, he added a window manager based on fvwm to create XFCE 2.
