    Because I was working through an ssh connection for my X display, I can use
    /usr/dt/bin/dtsession when tunnel and DISPLAY are set. This will start a
    CDE environment on my local X server.

    Thanks to Ryan

    Um, okay. It still doesn't matter. We have lots of headless boxes and
    can xdm into them for remote logins.

    If you want, just ssh into the host and run /usr/dt/bin/dtsession. It
    will dump you into CDE.
