You have to build Windowmaker from the sources at ftp.windowmaker.org.
The libraries for libPropList have changed, and if you use the wrong
ones you get really strange bus-errors/seg-faults.
Using the ports-system to update Windowmaker is almost impossible 'cos
the sources for Windowmaker change on a fortnightly basis!
Just ftp the sources, unpack, and *then* unpack libPropList.tar.gz,
configure/make it; then configure/make Windowmaker.
I've got 0.20.1 running fine on my 2.2.7-R box.
Cheers.
