My problem (original message below) was basically that the window manager
settings in CDE in DU4.0D weren't saved - they reverted back to default
every new login.
It seems that the window manager settings are saved as part of the home
session information - if you configure it the way you want and then save
your home session, the window manager configuration is also saved.
I suppose that it sort of makes sense, but I expected the WM settings to
be saved independantly. If I want to change the background or screensaver
settings, I don't want to have to re-save the home session...
Anyways, thanks for the quick responses from the following helpful people:

Hello...
Recently, I upgraded my workstation (AlphaStation 255/233) to Digital Unix
4.0D, to do some testing in preparation to moving our production boxen to
the same rev.
The only real problem that I'm having is that the window manager settings
under CDE don't seem to "stick". I want "Focus follows mouse" behaviour,
so I use the Window Style Manager to select "Point in Window to make
active" and deselect "Raise window when made active". When I select OK,
the window manager is restarted, and it works as I would expect. However,
when I log out and log back in, it has reverted to the default behaviour.
Other settings seem to be getting saved - my "Home Session" is restored
properly at startup (which is something that was a lot more flakey under
4.0A that I was running before).
Anyone else seeing this problem, or am I just missing something obvious?
