The advantage of tvtwm seems to be that it moves the overhead of the
virtual desktop to the server, where vtwm forces every client to notice
that they have moved (virtually).  However, it takes a lot more memory
in the server than vtwm.

Personally, I prefer vtwm.  I don't like my background pictures spread
out over the entire virtual root window. :-)
