It seems like you're experiencing a bug with Window Maker (WMaker) on your Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) installation. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
1. Verify Package Integrity Ensure that your installation of WMaker is not corrupted. Run the following command to check for missing or broken dependencies: bash sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall wmaker 2. Test With a New User Profile The issue could be caused by a corrupted user configuration. Create a new user profile and test WMaker: bash sudo adduser testuser Log in with the new user and try opening and closing windows in WMaker. 3. Check Logs for Errors Review system and WMaker-specific logs to identify potential error messages: bash cat ~/.xsession-errors dmesg | grep wmaker 4. Update or Downgrade WMaker Since you're using the Alpha version of Ubuntu 13.10, there might be compatibility issues with the current version of WMaker. Consider downgrading or upgrading: Downgrade: bash sudo apt-get install wmaker=0.95.1 Upgrade to a newer version (if available) by adding a PPA or downloading a more recent version from the source: bash sudo apt-get install build-essential wget http://www.windowmaker.org/pub/source/wmaker-0.95.5.tar.gz tar -xvzf wmaker-0.95.5.tar.gz cd wmaker-0.95.5 ./configure make sudo make install 5. Switch to a Stable Desktop Environment If the issue persists, you might want to consider using a different desktop environment temporarily (e.g., Xfce or LXDE) until a fix is available: bash sudo apt-get install xfce4 6. Report the Bug If none of these steps work, report the issue to the WMaker maintainers or Ubuntu developers for further assistance.
