Keep in mind that you removed all files that _looked_ like they were

100% foolproof.

I did so, and still have this error.

And when you start WPrefs.app .. You're not getting any error messages
.. something that might tell us where he is looking for his icons?

I'm not getting any error when I start WPrefs.app.

Did you try starting WPrefs from a shell prompt -- rather than clicking
on an icon..? There might be useful messages there.

Yes, but get only this like error message:
"WPrefs warning: could not locate image file iconprefs" eleven times for icons: iconprefs, ergonomic, paths, workspace, configs, menus, keyshortcuts, mousesettings, appearance, fonts, and expert.

Also there may be wmaker messages on the linux console from which you
started wmaker (if you use startx). If not there is a wmaker error log
file in your home directory where you might be able to find useful info.

I start wmaker with gdm. In the gdm log files there aren't any message that pertain to wmaker. I searched but can't find any wmaker error log files in my home directory. (with ls -a)

Lastly, did you check the permissions on the files as another poster
requested?  I forgot to mention that in my earlier posts but it's always
the first thing to check because it is a very probable cause of icons
not being displayed since the program running under your id may not be
able to open them.

Now I have installed only wmaker 0.91.0 without any additional package, like wmaker-data, or wmakerconf..

I removed manually several times every directories and files that looked like they were wmaker/wprefs files. Then I install again wmaker version 0.91.0 but still have this error. I try to run WPrefs as root user (I log in as root at gdm) but still have the error.

I sended now an e-mail to wm-user list with this issue, but get the error message:

Myhap I should reinstall my whole Debian system to solve this problem?

If you are installing from a tar ball try wmaker.inst that should install all the env for you. if you are using debs, try to remove it, apt-get update && apt-get remove --purge wmaker && apt-get install wmaker

any error messages should be in ~/.xsession-errors with gdm, thats where all of my wmaker errors are.
