I have been doing testing with Tim Hentenaar's fork of Motif.
Help Manager: currently I believe the crashing is not due to Tim's Motif, but rather from the attempt to make CDE be FHS-clean, as seen in ticket #200. This is because I do recall making patches to fix Help Manager, and I have gotten it to show the first-time user guide. So, it's very likely still trying to look for the other help files in the old, hardcoded locations. Going to leave this one to Reaper as he is working on improving the FHS support.
On Item Help: See above.
Exit Button: Can you please show the dialog? It works fine for me.
"Any apps": Can you please post the error messages, and which apps you are trying to use? I can't diagnose the issue without more information.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Wait, so, you can't just... re-run CDE and write down the errors?
You are saying that the errors you experienced only happened once?
This is very confusing and does not make much sense.
What use OS distribution that known good working?
Debian. The Linux build guide was written specifically for that distribution.

I can't reproduce this issue because Mageia may have buggy packages.

I recently switched to Debian Testing.
