Back in 2017, at least for evince, I added to my .ctwmrc:
===
MakeTitle
{
"Evince"
}
===
Maybe it'll work enough for you.
But after you mentioned it, I noticed today that the Evince windows
are still missing borders. I only have a two pixel border width
though, so not that apparent on my setup.

I presume (and a quick glance over firefox source suggests, along with
suggesting a few stiff drinks) that it's doing this via the Motif
hints, so you could also use MWMIgnore {} to issue a blanket "shut up,
I'm the window manager, I'll decorate what I want to decorate, and you
can go suck it" to those sorta client requests.
Or maybe just silently ignore them, I guess. But I like to think of
ctwm quietly slapping uppity programs around in the background on my
behalf...

Wow, I remember seeing this "title bar" thingy but it didn't occur to me that it could have such an effect. In retrospect it makes some sense.

I am mostly using Venom linux, and in that version of Firefox I do not have that setting, but get a title bar anyway. Open and save comes without the titlebar, though...

Noone has seen the same or noone knows how to work around it?
