Replying to my own question here, I think I got a little further in my debugging. But I would really appreciate some help from the experts.
Turns out the custom compile works nicely after all - when darktable is run on GNOME! But the image preview on import keeps failing on WindowMaker. Running darktable via strace in WMaker reveals the following problem when selecting a .CR2 raw file in the import dialog: (darktable:15968): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (src)' failed I do not get any error messages when selecting a jpg image, but neither do I get an image preview. All I see is the big dt_logo_128x128 icon. I looked at src/lib/import.c which seems to be responsible for me getting the darktable logo instead of a preview, but my programming skills are not sufficient to tell what's going wrong. Any hint as to why things are working nicely on GNOME, but not on WMaker? (wmaker 0.95.5-2 on Debian/jessie). And strangely enough, the problem does not exist when I manually re-compile and install the .deb files from Pascal's Ubuntu ppa. I'd really appreciate any expert help.
