Windowmaker-0.92.0-r7 crashes if wmakerconf-2.11 is used to configure window maker with a differenct pixmap image per workspace. Wmakerconf create the following config keyword WorkspaceSpecificBack = ( (spixmap, background1.jpg, white), (spixmap, background2.jpg, white) ); in the GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file. The keyword crashes windowmaker.

Where does wmakerconf come from? Not that it matters much, but I don't seem to have it.

can you try -r8 please?

Thanks.

http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/portage/x11-wm/windowmaker/ It should be there, you probably have to wait a bit more or pick another mirror which is more up-to-date (the current one you synced from feels awfully late to me, as I committed this yesterday).

(In reply to comment #4) > can you try -r8 please? > Same problem. Installed r8, deleted my ~/GNUstep/ started wmaker in my .xinitrc, and used wmakerconf to set a pixmap background for the main workspace. If I create multiple workspaces the background is the same. However if I try to set a pixmap background to any of the newly created workspaces, windowmaker issues a fatal error. Again the same problem persists. The WorkspaceSpecificBack = ... entry in the ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowManager file does not work. One interesting thing I noticed after upgrading to r8. WPrefs used to be in /usr/bin/ now is in /usr/GNUstep/System/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs. Thanks for any help.
If you still have the problem, please try with windowmaker-0.95.1. Note that wmakerconf is dead upstream though, so it is recommended to use WPrefs now instead
