Hi Gunnar,

Binary upgrades work OK if you're careful.  Just make sure things
are backed up, right?  :-)

I'm suggesting that something seems to be out of whack with your
present installation.  I've got over twelve machines of my own running
WindowMaker and perhaps fourty others in my immediate vicinity.  These
are various versions of OS and WM up to the current products.

I believe that CVSup and 'make {build,install}world will help get
you back on track.  Make sure to update both your /usr/src and
/usr/ports trees and rebuild *all* dependencies.  I build X from
sources routinely here and recommend it to others too.

Good Luck,

Jerry Hicks
