XEmacs should adopt, by default, the look and feel of the applications
in that operating environment - e.g. in vanilla OpenWindows, use the
resources that apps use in that environment, and the same for CDE.
Linux is too chaotic to have a `default' look and feel, although CDE
is available there as well as a commercial add-on.

Even if most XEmacs users don't use CDE today, that number is
increasing, and CDE provides an obvious source of interface design
ideas and specific color choices.
