Do we really need dbus if we have ToolTalk? :)
(My X.org server works without hal as well but you
are right about the package)

Until everything is fixed I would say you have to do
ln -s /usr/local/bin/ksh93 /bin/ksh

I am using
sudo ksh93 ./installCDE -s /path/to/cdesktopenv-code/cde/

Works for me as is : here's my ls -ld /var/dt:
drwxr-xr-x 4 bin bin 512 19 sie 23:05 /var/dt

My personal preference based on old UNIX experience:
mkdir /var/spool/calendar
ln -s /var/spool /usr/spool

I was still using my hacked up Xsession
but you are right - this one works.
