Probably some Launchpad script needs '-p' added to it: then everyone's needs
would be met. But I am not a regular user and don't have time to find out more.

I'll only need this if things go wrong after I've tried building something.
At that point I prefer to use 'ls -ltr' instead of going to a web page.

But I am sure I am in an small minority, so this comment can be ignored!

Well, I did not record anything when it happened, and when someone else reported
a manpath problem I thought I remembered something similar happening earlier.
So the most likely explanation is that my flawed memory generated a false alarm!

(My brain filled up some years ago.)

my current ctwm

    % ctwm -version
    3.8.2-post

has so far been doing exactly what I expect on Fedora 20.
(Unlike Firefox 29!)

Cheers.
