 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.


Sorry but I don;t understand what you mean.
1) what are "non-ctwm backgrounds" ?

2) what do you mean by "change rooms"? 
   IF
     changing workspaces under ctwm
        then I have no problems and the same root window image is everywhere
     changing rooms - ie terminals
        then how do other WMs remember the last root window image?????




All the best,

Michael
