Unfortunately the problem is worse than I thought. Earlier I wrote:

Unfortunately, when I started adding items to the that file the title bar
went wrong again. And then mysteriously when I went back to using a pute
copy of system.ctwm as the sole contents of .ctwmrc I could not get back to
the narrow title bar that it previously produced. The file has definitely
not changed, but its behaviour has.

So there is something non-deterministic in the behaviour of Ctwm on the
laptop.

I think that for now I'll have to give up and put up with fat title-bars
on windows produced by ctwm and come back to this problem later when I've
caught up with other tasks.

There must be a solution as I previously had ctwm working as desired on the
laptop for over three years, in various versions of fedora.

Thanks for the suggestions.
