This ctwm release has exactly the same problem for me that alpha4 had: most keys for which I have bindings for some ctwm context no longer function normally (such as in xterm!)

As of right now, I can only use the following alphabetic characters in an xterm: bfglnoqr (but I can still type in ALL CAPS IF I LIKE :-) Of course, going back to ctwm-3.6 also fixes the problem.

This one does not cause me to lose "b":

       "b"             = m     : r     : f.function "blank"

But one of these causes me to lose "r":

       "a"             =       : r     : f.function "admwarpto"
       "a"             = m     : r     : f.function "adm"
       "a"             = c|m   : all   : f.function "admwarpto"

I have no clue as to what the problem is, but I haven't tried yet with a minimal .ctwmrc. I know I'm not the only one to have had this problem before though, so perhaps someone else has figured this one out.

I built ctwm-3.7alpha5 under Fedora Core 1, but I expect it to behave the same way on other Red Hat-ish distributions. I have not tried even an older ctwm under Fedora Core 2 yet, which uses x.org instead of XFree86.

Thanks for bringing ctwm back to life, BTW :-)
