Ubuntu (and Debian) still have the previous version, 0.95.5 in the official repositories. (The most recent version, 0.95.6 has been packaged but is still pending a review by the Debian FTP masters because of an increase in versions of the included libraries. One would hope that it will reach unstable, and thus vivid, at some point in the near future, although it's been pending since October-ish.) If you'd like to try a newer version, there are snapshots of the git #next branch (the unstable development version) in my ppa. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:profzoom/wmaker sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wmaker I'm not sure if it will fix your issues, but I have no problem running this version in Utopic.
