OK. I had never heard of monotone and did not have it on my machine,
but there is a fedora version, so I installed it and fetched the
ctwm source.

Unfortunately monontone has a terrible bug: unlike wget, it loses
all information about when the files were created, so I don't know
how old this system is. However version.c does say:

    #define VERSION_ID "3.9devel"

I did

    cp Imakefile.local-template Imakefile.local

    xmkmf

    make

That created a new ctwm. So I edited my .xinitrc to invoke it
instead of openbox and restarted X.

Alas, full screen flash, tested on one of my own files here:

    http://www.slideshare.net/asloman/presentations

did not work. There was a full screen display for about half a
second and then it went back to showing only the small version.

    % X -version

gives:

    X.Org X Server 1.5.3
    Release Date: 5 November 2008
    X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
    Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 i686
    Current Operating System: Linux dcs
    2.6.27.24-170.2.68_1.cubbi_tuxonice.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Fri May 29
    13:47:28 CEST 2009 i686
    Build Date: 24 May 2009  07:42:37PM
    Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.5.3-17.fc10

The same flash presentation works fine in Openbox.

That's not very encouraging, but perhaps someone who knows more
about the X window system and the innards of ctwm will be able to
fix it?

I'll be happy to test it, if given instructions.
