I've never used the USE_GNOME stuff, so I don't object to removing it.
But since I don't set this macro, I also don't really care what's
happening to the code in those #ifdef blocks...

Well, now that Windows 10 is shipping with a "virtual desktop" feature,
there is no excuse for any of us to still use ctwm... ;p

But seriously, I wonder how many active users are left. For me, copying
over my historically grown .ctwmrc and .xsession files is still one of
the first steps after setting up a new box. So I'm definitively happy to
see some activity on this list. But OTOH, I never was concerned with
prolonged phases of no activity at all. Some people nowadays seem to
declare projects "dead" if there are no commits for 3 months or so. But
I really like the "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" attitude much more.
