Desktop environment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The name is derived from the desktop metaphor used by most of these interfaces. The desktop environments for the popular operating systems Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X are, in their intended use, relatively static. However, a number of other desktop environments also exist, including (but are not limited to): EDE, UDE, Mezzo, ROX Desktop, GEM, PerlTop, XPde, Xito, IRIX Interactive Desktop and arm0nia. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Desktop_environment   (359 words)

Common Desktop Environment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) CDE (for Common Desktop Environment) is a proprietary desktop environment for UNIX, based on the Motif widget toolkit. Until about 2000, CDE was considered the de facto standard for UNIX desktops, but at that time, free software desktop environments such as KDE and GNOME were quickly becoming mature, and became almost universal on the GNU/Linux platform, which already had a larger user base than most commercial Unices in total. The Definitive Desktop Environment Comparison Compares UI and usability of several desktop environments (DEs) that are widely used, admired, reviled: Windows XP Luna, BeOS 6 (Dano/Zeta), Mac OS X Aqua, Unix KDE and GNOME. www.serebella.com /encyclopedia/article-Common_Desktop_Environment.html   (596 words)

Common Desktop Environment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is also the standard desktop environment on HP OpenVMS. CDE was jointly developed by Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell and Sun Microsystems in The Open Group.

Desktop environment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) One can think of a desktop environment as a set of tools that make UNIX and X act like the GUIs of Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh. Well-known examples include GNOME, KDE, CDE and XFce; however, a number of other desktop environments also exist, including (but not limited to): EDE, UDE, ROX Desktop, GEM, PerlTop, XPde, Xito and arm0nia. Some window managers also include elements reminiscient of those found in desktop environments; most prominently Enlightenment. bopedia.com /en/wikipedia/d/de/desktop_environment.html   (182 words)

Sun Java Desktop System Sun customers have the option of deploying the same desktop environment on Sun workstations, Sun Ray ultra-thin clients, as well as a broad range of non-Sun notebook and desktop systems with standard x86-based architectures. The Java Desktop System is less susceptible to virus and worm attacks due in part to a superior security architecture and the use of Java technology that confines actions to a restricted sandbox. Java Desktop System is part of the Solaris 10 Operating System which is available as a free download. www.sun.com /software/javadesktopsystem   (336 words)

Ars Technica: The K Desktop Environment - Page 1 (3/99)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) KDE is really not a window manager, nor a widget set; it's what it says it is: a desktop environment (some call it a desktop manager). KDE provides a complete desktop environment, including a file manager, a window manager, a help system, a configuration system, uncountable tools and utilities, and an ever increasing number of applications, including but not limited to mail and news clients, drawing programs, a postscript and a dvi viewer and so forth. Personally, I believe that KDE 1.1 is a modestly extensible, quick, and stable environment, and I think you'll see from this review that KDE is putting a face on Linux that's bridging the gap between so-called established, "easy to use" OSes--like Windows and the MacOS--and Linux, the mythically evil, CLI-based realm of pain and suffering. arstechnica.com /linux/reviews/1q99/kde-1.html   (1208 words)

The Common Desktop Environment The task of integrating in-house and third party applications into a desktop, often the most difficult aspect of a desktop installation, is simplified by CDE. After the initial task of integrating applications so that they fit within session management, further integration can be done to increase their overall common look-and-feel ; with the rest of the desktop and to take advantage of the full range of CDE functionality. Actions allow applications to be launched using desktop icons, and they ease administration by removing an application's specific details from the user interface. www.cs.cf.ac.uk /Dave/C/node2.html   (2125 words)

Common Desktop Environment (CDE)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) I've been using CDE for a few months, and it is the first out of the box window environment that I find useful. For new users, the initial environment that CDE provides is a very good starting place. Many people have spent years tweaking their environment for a certain window manager, and will not want to go to CDE. ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu /~cxh/cde.html   (1234 words)

freedesktop.org - Desktops The second flavor of X desktop includes a desktop environment only; no development framework is included. The line between this flavor of desktop and a plain old window manager is a bit blurry; many people would describe XFce, WindowMaker, and Enlightenment as desktops in this category. Desktops can be mixed-and-matched; for example, you can run Enlightenment together with GNOME or KDE components; you can run applications developed with the GNOME or KDE development framework under any of the X desktops. www.freedesktop.org /wiki/Desktops   (370 words)

Last check: 2007-10-21) Today, in development toward the DR17 Desktop Shell we have created an entirely new set of libraries and tools that provide more power and flexibility than any other group of graphical libraries available, which we refer to collectively as The Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. It will not compete with GNOME or KDE, but be a completely new way of visualizing your desktop, based around the EFL which was built from the ground up for this task. The desktop shell itself is only a basic framework and not yet ready for CVS, but will be emerging into CVS during the course of this year. enlightenment.org   (680 words)

Four Vulnerabilities in the Common Desktop Environment When messages are received, ttsession uses certain environment variables supplied by the client to determine how the message is handled. The ttsession daemon is started whenever a user logs in using the CDE desktop, or upon interaction with CDE at some future point. A local or remote attacker may manipulate certain environment variables (which are used by ttsession to determine how client messages are handled) to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the running ttsession. www.ciac.org /ciac/bulletins/k-001.shtml   (2874 words)

The Definitive Desktop Environment Comparison - OSNews.com This article is a comparison of the UI and usability of several Desktop Environments (DEs), that have been widely used, admired and reviled: Windows XP Luna, BeOS 6 (Dano/Zeta), Mac OS X Aqua and Unix's KDE and Gnome. What we are comparing here is the overall user experience generated by these desktop environments and their underlying OSes.
