On the contrary.  If you choose "toggle workspace map" from one of the
ctwm windows, it will show you what windows are where instead of the
buttons.  I'm sure there is probably a way to get it to come up like that
by default, but I haven't read the man page in a while.

I use it on mine and it works just fine.

fvwm can be configured to use both workspaces and a virtual desktop.
Since ctwm can only do workspaces, I suppose fvwm has the advantage here.

Later.
