Well, I dunno what version that is, though
https://man.netbsd.org/NetBSD-9.1/i386/ctwm.1 lists 3.7.  Yow.

But anyway, xev doesn't set any WM_HINTS, so it'd be 4.0.0 before we
started forcing focus onto it anyway.  So, one _could_ argue that, as
a program that's there to monitor events, and probably wants keyboard
events, it's a bug that it doesn't ask the WM for keyboard events
too...  but yeah, current version would be always giving it focus
anyway.
