Them's fightin' words. Hmmm...not my experience at all. Then again, I don't do much in the way of saving session state (I open two terminals, that's it), or mucking with window preferences, though the settings I've configured through the window commands "Attributes" tab seem to stick. I'm running WindowMaker 0.70.1, the latest available appears to be 0.70.2. There are a few notes of bugs on the mailing list (I monitor it but only read every few weeks), particularly just after the 0.70 release (libProbList deps removed), but my experience is that it works pretty darned well. Considering a typical session might stay up for months, that's not too bad. Could you point to references for the bugs you're seeing? Peace. -- Karsten M.
