The problem is probably that, in practice, you can ignore only one
modifier. "Ignoring" a modifier is done by adding an extra GrabKeyboard
or GrabPointer for every key or button you specify. When 2 (or more)
modifiers are to be ignored, ctwm would need to make 2 Grabs. There is
no code to do that, since this gets out of hand literally exponentially.

This also holds for RaiseOnClick and ClickToFocus.
