My WMRootMenu file contains the default "menu.hook" this results in the following when starting X: /usr/bin/X11/WindowMaker error: could not find menu file "menu.hook" referenced in WMRootMenu: No such file or directory WindowMaker: /usr/src/debian/wmaker-0.60.0/src/startup.c:585: wScreenForRootWindow: Assertion `"bad_root_window" && 0' failed. /usr/bin/X11/WindowMaker fatal error: got signal 6 (Aborted) And I get a nice dialog box from Window Maker asking what I want to do about the abort. Replacing "menu.hook" with the full path to the file (in /etc/X11/WindowMaker) solves the problem but even then I get errors from cpp: /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook:7: menu.prehook: No such file or directory /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook:479: menu.posthook: No such file or directory I am using Debian 2.1 on Alpha, kernel versions 2.2.9/2.3.10. I have built wmaker and libproplist from source myself. Note that this problem did not occur when I did pretty much the same thing on an i386 slink box at work. Relevant packages: libproplist0 0.8.3-1 libc6.1 2.0.7.19981211 gcc 2.91.66-0slink1 (from proposed-updates) g++ 2.91.66-0slink1 cpp 2.91.66-0slink1 Cheers, mato
