This is the basic configuration file for the ctwm desktop environment used in the modified version of Suda that I run on my own computers. The text is self explanatory , its based on Thomas Eriksson and Steve Litts original .ctwmrc file found via the xwinman website. This is obviously specific to my setup and you will have to change things that relate to your own home folder, shellscripts you want to run and programs you want to appear in your own menu's.
#Modified .ctwmrc based on the work of those mentioned below - Thomas Eriksson and STEVE LITT
