   Ooops, my fault, in my memory, I thought I announced it to the whole list, but looking
in my emails I can see it was just announced to Johan to fix a problem he had.

   So...

     New version of ctwm is available in :

http://slpc1.epfl.ch/public/software/ctwm/ctwm-3.6.tar.gz

   The CHANGES file reads :

    Changes from version 3.5.2 to 3.6
    ---------------------------------

    1 - Fix line numbers for errors when using m4 preprocessor. Send thanks
        to Josh Wilmes <josh@hitchhiker.org>.

    2 - Fix the way menu entries are selected with the keyboard. Now
        when you type a letter, the pointer moves to the next entry
        whose first letter is this letter, but does not activate it.
        The new keyword IgnoreCaseInMenuSelection, can be used to
        ignore case for this delection.

    3 - New keyword : DontSave, Takes a window list as argument. All listed
        windows won't have their characteristics saved for the session manager.
        Patch from Matthias Baake <Matthias.Baake@gmx.de>

    4 - Also from Matthias Baake <Matthias.Baake@gmx.de>. I let him speak :
        With the new keywords BorderLeft, BorderRight, BorderBottom and BorderTop
        (each of them is optional with a default value of 0 and takes a
        nonnegative integer as argument) you can declare a border "off limits" for
        f.move etc.. These borders act the same way as the real borders of the
        screen when moving windows; you can use f.forcemove to override them.

    5 - Sloppy Focus added with keyword "SloppyFocus" in configuration file
        (DINH V. Hoa <dinh@enserb.fr>).

    6 - the keyword "ClickToFocus" has been correctly implemented
        (DINH V. Hoa <dinh@enserb.fr>).

    7 - the keyword "IgnoreModifier" has been added,
        to use this feature, you have to add a line
        "IgnoreModifier { lock m2 }" in the configuration file.
        All bindings (buttons and keys) will ignore the modifiers
        you specified. It is useful when you use caps locks or
        num locks. You don't need IgnoreLockModifier any more with this option.
        (DINH V. Hoa <dinh@enserb.fr>).

    8 - New keyword : WindowBox : creates a new window called a box, where
        all the client windows that match the windows list are opened in,
        instead of the roor window. This is useful to group small windows
        in the same box (xload for instance) :

WindowBox "xloadbox" "320x100+0-0" {
    "xload"
}

    9 - New function : f.fittocontent. Can be used only with window boxes.
        The result is to have the box have the minimal size that contains
        all its children windows.

   10 - New keyword : WindowGeometries. Used to give a default geometry to some
        clients :

WindowGeometries {
    "Mozilla*" "1000x800+10+10"
    "jpilot*" "800x600-0-0"
}

   11 - New keyword : IconMenuDontShow. Don't show the name of these windows
        in the TwmIcons menu.

    And, as usual, a few bug fixes here and there.
