This sounds truly nifty, thanks! It's just this sort of
think that make ctwm unbeatable (IMHO). Other WM's let
you do some limited N things [unless you know the hidden
"tricks"]. With ctwm, I can configure my ~/.xsession
just how I want it.
One thing that may help ctwm grow is more documentation
with examples like yours about with accompanying
screenshots. --I find docs with *examples* the best
way to go. For example, some man pages list umpteen
switch options with thumbnail summaries; but having
just a few EXAMPLE offerings at the bottom is a
significant plus++.
A final note concerns having xterms in as many workspaces
as desired. I have 10 workspaces on most of my platforms:
ones for "Mail", "Programming", "Writing", "Broswer",
and so on. I wanted at least two xterms in each w-space,
but ctwm kept putting everything in my first workspace,
"SysAdmin". There are probably other ways of accomplishing
this, but I discovered that my linking xterm -> mailxterm
and "ln xterm browserxtem" and editing ~/.ctwmrc
did the trick.
