It looks almost exactly like CDE.  That's where the difference ends.  Try
adding programs to CDE.  In fact, try doing much of anything that smacks
of customization.  No comparison.  OTOH, when session management was
added, that was a HUGE step backward.  I had to write a script for each
upgrade to go recursively through users' directories to turn that crap off
(or users ended up with 300+ copies of xdaliclock running on their
screen).  I switched to Blackbox after that.
