 I just tested ctwm-4.0.3 from 9.4_STABLE on a -HEAD system and I just can't
 reproduce this. (Apart from a bug making drop-down menus in FF disappear when
 you move into them; but, that isn't seen on 4.1.0.)
 
 Can you try compiling ctwm-4.1.0 from pkgsrc (it's very easy) after appliying
 the patch from here as a local patch:

 The pkgsrc guide tells you how to do it. Else, just file a pkgsrc PR. Without
 that patch, the ctwm-4.1.0 in pkgsrc doesn't launch programs correctly.
