As I'd expect, and per the tk docs (e.g., http://wiki.tcl.tk/9457):
-alpha double
controls opacity (from 0.0 to 1.0). This requires a
compositing window manager to have any effect. [compiz] is one
such, and xfwm4 (for the XFCE desktop) is another.
which ctwm isn't. Now, does it actually require a compositing _window
manager_, or just a _compositing manager_? I don't know. I've been
using xcompmgr for a while to enable compositing here; you could try
messing a bit with some of its options to see if it enables enough
