Hi Matthew,
Thank you for your work!
On my wish list:
- Xrandr handling (I am looking at it on my free time);
- XFT fonts handling, will give access to many great fonts;
- add a f.copytitle function that copies the title of the window to the
primary selection and/or clipboard;
- ability to exec a ctwm function at runtime: dialog box with a text
field or drop down list with all available functions or a predefined menu;
- handling too long menus (more entries than vertical space on screen);
- ability to have "mouse" and "random" geometries in WindowGeometries
("mouse" places the window under mouse without waiting for a click,
"random" has the same effect than 'RandomPlacement "on"' used when
RandomPlacement is set globally to "off" or "unmapped").
Best regards,
Max.

Now that 4.0.0 is out the door, it's time to look at what comes next.
There's certainly plenty left to do in going through the code,
cleaning it up, and commenting the crap out of it. I plan to continue
that. I'd also like to try moving us forward to some newer X
interfaces, like XCB-based stuff. Which leads to:
To figure out good bounds and directions, you gotta know what you're
running on. XCB, for instance, has been a shipping standard part of
X.org releases since X11R7.6, from 2010, and was probably a usual part
of a lot of X installs for a couple years before that. That's
probably a little recent for us to go so far as _requiring_ it, but
I'd think it's solidly in common enough we can assume it's _usual_.
So, who's got a weird X install? I probably mean the libraries as
much or more than the server. Is anybody still running Xi Graphics or
eXceed or some other X stack other than something reasonably recent
from the X.org folks?
And, what other things would you like to see in ctwm 4.1.0? Which,
hopefully, we can manage to get around to somewhat quicker than
4.0.0...
