[It is now working on both my desktop and laptop machines running Fedora

I have now restarted, using this. It all seems to work, but with a minor
problem that I noticed in an earlier version running on this machine:

After restarting the new ctwm on SL or invoking a menu option to re-read
.ctwmrc, menus come up initially without the menu items showing, only the
menu name at the top and the menu frame.

Below that I see the whole menu only as a black rectangle.

However, if I drag the mouse pointer down the menu the individual button
labels appear and after that they always appear, for that menu. So I can
make each menu work by doing that once. But I have to re-do it after
re-starting X, restarting Ctwm, or just making ctwm re-read .ctwmrc.

It does not happen on my Fedora 22 desktop or laptop.

Very odd. Perhaps one of those permanently unsolvable mysteries of the
universe.
