Thanks, this solve the problem. That was the first thing I tried, but don't 
worked. Now, after a second chance,
I noticed that inadvertently I copied  a line at autostart file that was 
causing the problem. (I have a lot of lines 

on my autostart file, to configure the environment). Thanks.

How are you starting the x server? You should make xrandr -s 1280x1024 command 
executer before wmaker.

Subject: Re: Restart windowmaker from a shell

I ask because wm don't set the screen resolution I use in Xfce. So I put:

xrandr -s 1280x1024

at autostart file. This set the correct resolution but the app dock remains at 
its original coordinates. Not at the
right of the screen. So I should select "Restart Window Maker" at wmaker menu 
to solve the problem. But I
would like do this at autostart file. I will test your suggestions thanks.

Send a SIGUSR1 to the wmaker child process.

Something like:

$ kill -usr1 `pgrep wmaker | tail -1`

Not guaranteed to work, as it can easily grab the wrong PID.
