Even if there might be reasons for that, ctwm is the only WM doing it
this way.
In KDE, Gnome, Xcfe, mwm, fvwm2, blackbox and fluxbox, xwit shows all
clients (especially xterms) correctly. 

I don't think it's a good idea to insist on doing sth. different than
any other window manager, especially if it makes X11 tools fail only
in ctwm.

Is this a single patch than I can remove? We can't go without xwit
on out chair, there are too many scripts relying on it.

Frank
