Just a "feature" not a bug.
Several of the standard icons for WindowMaker are missing on the screen
when one _updates_ to build 17. The problem seems due to the fact that
icons were relocated from /usr/share/WindowMaker/Icons to
/usr/X11R6/share/WindowMaker/Icons. Unfortunately old user settings
ignore completely the /usr/X11R6 path.

Meanwhile the restoring of settings through "wmaker.inst" (well it's the
standard installation tool isn't it?) delivers them to correct settings
but it restores the old "traditional" WindowMaker menu. This may be good
or bad, depending on how users know something more than a click on a
bitmap. I have users here that look horrified to a black screen with a
flashing underscore. Their reaction is worse than a earthquake victim.
For such people, this menu change can be nuclear for their brains...
