CDE stands for Common Desktop Environment which is a Desktop for UNIX.

I think that the point was to make a free replacement for it.  However, 
KDE wound up being more of a MS-Windows clone and another project has 
become the replacement for the Common Environment (Xfce).

So, a change to CDE would not be possible although QDE is really more to 
the point.
