Hi,

I tried to install the ubuntu packages in one debian machine. I cannot
reproduce the problem. I used wmaker and wmaker-common packages, version
0.95.3-2ubuntu1. Can you try the debian packages? debdiff show that the
packages are equal (minor changes).

What version are you using? The libwraster/libutils2/libwings2 are
updated too?

Thanks for your report.

Cheers,
kix
