Hi,

I am not surprised at all by this behaviour. The MapRequest and Reparenting
used by ctwm (amd most window managers) is prone to race conditions. I'm not
sure the window is destroyed, I think it is not mapped after the XMapWIndow and
the MapNotify is never received. You are welcome to find a fix for this, but this
is not a very serious problem.

Claude.
