I noticed that inadvertently I copied a line at autostart file that

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.

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.

I don't know if this will help (don't remember what system you are
running) But on my Debian Window Maker setup I just set my screen res
via a ~/.xprofile file. I simply create the .xprofile file in my home
folder and place this command within it:
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x1200 --rate 60
Now when I start Window Maker, my screen is set to the correct res and
the dock/apps are at the correct coordinates. Keep in mind you will need
to adjust the settings for your monitor specs.
Hope that helps.
