There should be a ctwm.desktop-file in /usr/share/xsessions, if you use X11 fonts, check that Ubuntu does not block you from using them and that all are installed. That are the only things I could think of. I have been running ctwm 4.03 on a macbook with lubuntu, but the charging contact broke, so it is out of power (and very old, powerpc, that is the reason for Ubuntu)

My ctwm.desktop looks like:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=CTWM
Exec=/usr/bin/ctwm
TryExec=/usr/bin/ctwm
Icon=
Type=Application

It could probably be better...
