This is because Window Maker installs its own LibPropList that is surprisingly different from libPropListgnome. The submitter appropriately decicided to avoid being ambushed by a zillion happy Window Maker users who suddenly got crushed by the new (likely incompatible) libPropList. :-) If you have a problem with this, talk to the gnome people and the WM people, and get them to agree and merge on a consistent version.
