    Hello!
    I installed CDE in Debian 12 in VirtualBox.
    The first login via dtlogin is fine, the second one with session "Default" isn't, the mouse cannot be used. The pointer is shown, but I can't click anything from CDE, but inside applications like dtfm everything is fine.
    If you need more information, please tell me.
    sessionlog is enabled, but doesn't show anything related to the mouse.

    kind regards
    Marco

    How are you running dtlogin? Are you allowing the Xserver to completely reset between sessions?

    Eg, I use a systemd service

    $ cat /lib/systemd/system/dtlogin.service
    [Unit]
    Description=CDE Login Manager
    Requires=rpcbind.service
    After=systemd-user-sessions.service
    
    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -nodaemon
    
    [Install]
    Alias=display-manager.service

    I logged in as root and ran
    /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -nodaemon
    Then I logged in as my normal user in dtlogin.
    After deleting ~/.dt it works again, after a second login it doesn't.

    I'm having the same issue as well. I'm on Slackware64 15.0.
    While I could kind of solve(?) this problem by copying the entire .dt directory from my other computer running a much older version of CDE, I'm still having numerous issues such as the whole desktop segfault'ing when I execute a program like the Appearance manager or the Application manager, and the entire desktop/terminal not supporting my non-english locale (ko_KR.UTF-8. I can get korean characters to display on that other computer but in here all menu items in korean display as blank and such)
    Maybe a regression in a recent revision of CDE?
