CDE on sparc64



FYI for anyone wanting to use CDE on sparc64

Recent pkgsrc releases introduced wm/cde, however if anyone tried using
it on sparc64, may have noticed it crashes on startup. May not be an
issue on x86, as it probably supports unaligned loads/stores.

I've just submitted pkg/58717 which fixes various alignment issues. I
can now run CDE either locally via X11 server, or remotely via Tiger
VNC. As a desktop environment, it is very easy on resources and feels
very usable on my Sun Ultra 10.
