>I also love ctwm

[...lots of ctwm and other WM stuff deleted...]

The biggest comaplaint I've had with ctwm (In my uneducated opinion - I
don't use it) is it's inabilityy to have non-ctwm backgrounds on your
screen. You can put one up, but it disappears as soon as you change rooms.
There's probably -rc options to correct this, but since I don't use it, I'm
really not interested in what they are.

I've been using vtwm for the past N months (4<N<15), and for the most part
it works pretty nice. A few things that bug me about it - the damn virtual
desktop won't work the way you'd expect it to. If you click on a window in
the virtual desktop to move it, it warps the window so the pointer is at the
top left corner. Ditto with the root window (on the VD). I had a patch to
fix this, but it crashed when I tried recompiling with a distributed patch
set, so I ditched mine and haven't done anything on it in a while. The other
thing that bugs me (and should be fairly easy to fix) is to have outlines of
windows that are being moved on the VD (ala tvtwm or olvwm). Uncommenting
out one line in the source *almost* works, but crashes when you try to move
the root (referencing the parent of it, if I remember correctly). 
Stayup menus (found in tvtwm) would be another nice feature, probably could
be done by case-and-paste without too much pain. 

I think I've gotten away from the original intent of this post (if there
ever was one), so I'll cut it short before I start babbling...
