I have tried using ctwm with gnome a while back, and I noticed the
following issues:

- layering. gnome apparently wants to restrict certain windows to layers
  such as "completely in the background".
- workspace manager. The ctwm windows didn't show up in the gnome
  workspace manager, I had to use ctwm's own workspace manager instead.
  (Note that ctwm's workspace manager is more powerful, since it offers
  more choices for a window than just "one" or "all" workspaces).
