I had been using Daniel Stone's unofficial Xfree86 4.3 for several months (which is no longer available). Today I needed to compile a program for one of my classes which requires that I have the libxaw7-dev packages installed. Of course since Stone's build is no longer avilable, I had to update to the experimental Xfree86 from the Debian repository.
Of course, my system got seriously b0rked in the process since I use the proprietary ATi drivers for my Radeon. Anyhow, now WIndow Maker segfaults whenevery I start it. I get a little window that says "Window Maker has received a signal 11." Then I get three options in a little dropdown list:
-Leave a core file and abort -Attempt to restart -Start an alternate window manager
The abort option just sends me back out to gdm. The restart option just redisplays the dialog and forces me to choose again. The last option starts twm. In twm, I get my background image from Window Maker but no dock apps.
This is very strange, but I am not sure where to go from here. I have already uninstalled (purged) all the Window Maker packages and reinstalled them. I have also tried downgrading and get the same exact results.
