Hi,

There is actually a bug. If the first path in your PixmapDirectory
is home relative (~/something), there is potentially a core dump.
The fix is :

*** ctwm-3.4/util.c Thu May 2 18:21:35 1996
--- ./util.c Fri May 10 13:59:28 1996
***************
*** 369,374 ****
--- 369,375 ----
        if (*p == '~') len += HomeLen - 1;
        p = colon + 1;
      }
+ if (*p == '~') len += HomeLen - 1;
      len += strlen (p);
      ret = (char*) malloc (len + 1);
      *ret = 0;

I'll probably issue a 3.4.1 version.

Claude.
