Quoth Martin Dietze,
for a while now (several weeks) several gtk-based apps which I had configured for particular workspaces do no longer "remeber" these settings, i.e. whenever I restart WM, the settings are gone. One of these apps is pidgin. Anyone experienced anything similar?
Yes I had that and also with Pidgin. To cut a long story short it turned out that my GNUstep/Defaults/WMWindowAttributes file had become mangled. It was missing a closing } or something. I didn't see any errors from Window Maker (that isn't to say there weren't any) but attempting to "save" settings failed because the original file couldn't be parsed.
I just binned the file and started saving my preferences again and it worked after that.
