I suspect I am not the only one who has not looked at what's being discussed in
this thread, and don't know whether I would benefit from trying to use the
facilities.

A possible way to get 'a few more people' to try it and report would be
for someone knowledgeable to prepare a message to the list saying something
like:

If you put this into your .ctwmrc

   <.... sample contents for testing ....>

and then try doing the following actions what you should observe is
... and the reason this is interesting/beneficial for some people
is because ....

That would minimise the effort required for being a tester willing to
help CTWM, who might also learn something useful by trying.

It might also serve as first draft documentation on the new facilities, to go
into the Man file.

In fact, nothing less would induce me to test something I don't know I already
need, given all the other pressures on my time! I suspect I am not the only
one.
