Are you sure you're not using some old wmiirc?
I moved everything old out of the way, I believe. executables and config files found should definitely all be the new ones. my only concern is whether some wrong libraries are dynamically linked (?). could this be? > > > any more ideas?

I know did look closer again on what happens when wmii starts up: -- (nearly) full screen xterm appears -- rest (rim) of screen covered with background color (overlaying my X11 root window) -- for a short moment a light grey task bar at the bottom appears -- light grey bar vanihes and is replaced by black bar -- where the blue-green background is visible button 3 brings up a menu (nop, delete, fullscreen) -- mod1+a brings ab the `exec, quit, rc.wmii rehash status welcom wmiirc' menu where `exec' and `quit' quits the x11 session the rest is "no op" if someone cares, I put the screendump of this screen in /private/tmp123/wmii.png which can be got by anonymous ftp from the server ftp.fzd.de (note that /private/tmp123 is a hidden directory) I really appreciate your help and that of the other guys.
