This isn't a feature that needs to be built in to the window manager.
Its easily accomplished if you put an xterm or something last in your
.xsession instead of ctwm.

Alternatively, you can do what I do: put the following at the end
of your .xsession: 

----

rm -f ~/.wmpostrun

ctwm

while (-x ~/.wmpostrun)
  mv -f ~/.wmpostrun ~/.wmpostrun.bak
  ~/.wmpostrun.bak
end

--

Then you make a ctwm function to create the .wmpostrun
shell script, followed by a f.quit.  Tie it to a menu,
and you've got what you need.

I make multiple menu entries to create the script with
other window managers.  Ugly, but it works.
