I made some small tweaks in the code, and a user-visible change.
I noticed that the so-called RingLeader (the window that is the starting
point for Modifier-Tabbing) can change when you enter or leave
windows[1]. That is no good if you want to see the ring as a stack,
since it rotates the stack. So I have designated the Ring pointer, which
points to the "start" of the ring, as the fixed starting point.

[1] Aside: I would think it should be based on focusing, not mere mouse
movement, but that's how it is right now.

You can still find the branch at
https://code.launchpad.net/~ctwm/ctwm/windowstack
(lp:~ctwm/ctwm/windowstack).
