Not much time, but I installed your patch and re-tried 'make ctwm'. After a
couple
of false starts caused by my previous tinkering 'make ctwm' produced:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 387364 May 14 14:43 ctwm
and running it produced:
% ./ctwm
./ctwm: another window manager is already running on screen 0?
./ctwm: unable to find any unmanaged screens
So it looks as if it works.
Congratulations!
It seems you somehow managed to work out that just moving a few lines
of declarations in mwmhints.c would fix it. Magic.
I haven't tried killing my local ctwm and running the solaris version remotely
as I have too many other things to catch up with just now. I may get a chance
to try it later.
