Were you able to figure this out.
I start ctwm seperatally (along with other applications, mostly Xterms
which I have a script figure out an position for me) before starting the
gnome system (for the control panels and USB key handling) and the pause
at gnome-wm is very annoying. I tried to change the start order for
this to a larger number but that does not seem to help much.
