about these problems in BSD with the WMStatus file, one question. Is your /tmp

I have separate partitions for:
/& /usr (same partition)
/tmp
/home
And with my latest patch restoring is working with 100% reliability for me.
OTOH the bug report you posted in your other message mentions pam, but I
don't know if that is relevant to Rainer's situation.
At this point I'm out of ideas ... can someone suggest a solution for
printing the values of .restarting and .norestore safely? My previous
attempt with wwarning() caused windowmaker to crash on startup sometimes
for me, an often (always?) for Rainer.
Also Rainer, it would probably be useful if you stepped through all the
differences between your working and non-working systems.
Sorry, I had been too busy to answer until now.
Before writing this I installed your latest FreeBSD wmaker patch from
February, 27th 01:56 one my three boxes with wmaker. Then I removed the
existing configurations and installed new ones with wmaker.inst.
The result confuses me again: Now only one box behaves like expected.
There I can save and restore my sessions. One of the boxes with
restoring ok two patches before is not able any more to restore. The
third box still is not able to restore sessions. This is also true for
all three boxes with old configurations from backup.
All three systems run FreeBSD 10-CURRENT (amd64) on different hardware.
The number of installed ports differ also.
Table of restoring capabilities depending on different FreeBSD wmaker
port patches:

There seems to be no obvious pattern, I think. Please let me know, if
you need more information.
