After updating the wmaker package from 0.95.2-1, I can no longer start
multiple xterms from the same appicon on the dock. I'm using the
configuration described in the Window Maker FAQ at
<https://windowmaker.org/FAQ.php#104>. Other terminal emulators have the
same issue. As a workaround, I can select "Launch" from the title bar of
the xterm window to start another terminal instance.

Thanks for your report!

You've encountered the new application relaunching behavior which first appeared in Window Maker 0.95.3. From the NEWS file:

There are now several ways to launch a new instance of an application with the
same command line that was originally used to start it.

1. By selecting Launch from the application's window menu.
2. By using the "Launch new instance of application" keyboard shortcut.
3. By clicking the application's appicon with the middle button.
4. By double-clicking the application's appicon while holding Control.

You definitely found a bug in the upstream FAQ, as it is clearly out-of-date. I'm retitling this bug accordingly and forwarding upstream.
