Just to put it out there, currently I have CDE running on Ubuntu 16.04
using multiple monitors. I have a few xrandr commands in my .dtprofile that
configures my 3 monitors and arranges them - even rotating them, and it
works great. I even have Top and sensors as applications that start on
login, not via the script, but via the home session and they are always in
the correct spot.
Also, I have used dtmail with GMail/IMAP using a local relay via procmail
to sync it to the local mailbox. Sending was via a local sendmail relay.
Worked great. I think the bigger issue is the lack of HTML support. I
couldn't read a lot of my emails because of it.
