Using Exceed with CDE

Hi managers,

Can anyone give me any clues about using Exceed from Hummingbird with
CDE on DU 4.0D, please? I use it with DECwindows on DU 3.2C with the
command:

  /usr/bin/X11/dxsession -display _at_d -xrm "*security: False"

and this seems to work on 4.0D too, but I realise it probably isn't
correct as it avoids the normal login screen and doesn't get logged to
/var/adm/utmp, and it gives the following messages in the console log:

  mwm: Another window manager is running on screen 0
  mwm: Unable to manage any screens on display.
  Process xxxxx exited "mwm"

but otherwise it is useable. What command should I use to run CDE? The
command

  /usr/dt/bin/dtsession -display _at_d

just produces a window with the message:

  The file /var/tmp/sdtdbcache_$DISPLAY is either missing or empty. This
  is most likely due to the file system for /var/tmp being full. Please
  use the failsafe session option on the login screen to login to the
  system and free up approximately 300 disk blocks in /var to allow a
  normal CDE login to succeed.

The file system for /var isn't full and I can write to /var/tmp, so I
suspect I may have bypassed whichever routine should have created the
sdtdbcache* file.

I am using Exceed v.5.1 with Windows 3.1.

Any help would be appreciated! TIA

Helen
