This problem is because the file /etc/GNUStep/WindowMaker has two extra
commas:

--- a/debian/debianfiles/conf/WindowMaker
+++ b/debian/debianfiles/conf/WindowMaker

WindowTitleBalloons = YES;

The patch was sent here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/blobdiff/0bd7bcd434ff6420d381c609f9eef94df5f61afd..45c5145ff2ba491473294c590fb7f380d6968dba:/debian/debianfiles/conf/WindowMaker

I have a question about this package. Is this package auto-generated? I
wrote this line in debian/changelog because the package is not ready yet
(I am the Debian Maintainer for this package and wmaker developer):

    1 wmaker (0.95.3+20120825-1) experimental; urgency=low
    2 3 * THIS PACKAGE VERSION MUST NOT BE UPLOADED TO DEBIAN

kix.
