In the version of ctwm currently running on my machine (3.6),
xvile in fact *does* get the input focus, but the window frame
does not change color to indicate this.
The problem is that xvile does not set the "Input" window
manager hint. According to the XSetWMHints manual page,
Applications that expect input but never explicitly set
focus to any of their subwindows (that is, use the push
model of focus management), such as X Version 10 style
applications that use real-estate driven focus, should
set this member to True.
Quick fix: in the file "x11.c" in the vile source code,
change
hints->flags = IconPixmapHint;
to
hints->flags = InputHint|IconPixmapHint;
