Got the idea thinking about showing my daughter the good ole days eh? 

I can't find xbear. xeyes works. 

There is a modern project for CDE. I built it on Ubuntu 15.10 last night. I've used it all day. I rely so much on Unity. 

I'll switch between Chrome and gnome-terminal all day. That involves me just clicking on the left panel. In Zimbra when I send email it creates a popup. That can be accessed by clicking the Chrome icon on the left panel. 

No such thing I know of in CDE. For xterm I found something cool called tabbed. Any program that supports Xembed will work. I can take vanilla xterm and make it tabbed. Put it on its own workspace. 

Out of the box there are no hotkeys to change workspace. I added that to dtwmrc. I'll try later. With chrome on one and tabbed xterm on another that should work. When either are maximized there is no clock. I never realized how often I check my clock. I tried xclock, but there seems to be no option to pin it. I could pin it to the lower right if I could. 

One solution on the left panel could be to simple resize Chrome and then I'll see those icons on the desktop. Problem is that only programs that are minimized have those. Amazingly Google is light on sources. It may be odd, but I may have better luck finding one to compile in my attic tha on Google. LoL.
