I just experienced one of the (very occasional) freezes of WindowMaker. My X session was fully locked up, but I could switch to a virtual console. Checking man pages didn't turn up any documented methods of signalling WindowMaker, but on a hunch I tried:
kill -USR1 <wmaker pid>
...with an appropriate value of PID.
...Actually, I ran a sleep 3 before that, and switched back over to the
X session. Sure enough, window decorations disappeared and reset. To
be sure, I ran an additional "restart" from the root window menu.
Same X session's been running since June 12.
