I don't use synaptic, but a apt-get install --reinstall wmaker should
fix that, I'm not sure what the synaptic method would be though.
I reinstall now wmaker with apt-get too, but this is same as with the
synaptic. I do
apt-get update && apt-get remove --purge wmaker && apt-get install wmaker
but the error still remain here.

How may this happen that the tiff image format is not supported on my
system?
I have installed these packages for tiff:
libtiff-opengl 3.7.2-7 TIFF manipulation and conversion tools
libtiff-tools 3.7.2-7 TIFF manipulation and conversion tools
libtiff4 3.7.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library
libtiff4-dev 3.7.2-7 Tag Image File Format library (TIFF), develo
libtiffxx0 3.7.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library -- C++
These are not enough for tiff image format supporting?
try Main menu > Info > Info Panel
This has the list of wmaker supported image formats
On the Info panel stand:
-----------------------------------------
Window Maker Version 0.91.0
...
Supported image formats: XPM PPM PNG JPEG
...
-----------------------------------------
I remember that, that there in the pixmaps and icons directories out
there weren't these .tiff images, or mayhap I'm wrong?
And now, when there are these .tiff images, WPrefs can't load these
.tiff images, because wmaker Version 0.91.0 not support tiff images.
What is the solution?
I red something about Debian tiff support here:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=hu&ie=ISO-8859-2&q=tiff+support+on+Debian+sarge&btnG=Google+keres%E9s&lr=
------------>
A flaw was also uncovered in libtiffs custom tag support which may
result in abnormal behaviour, crashes, or potentially arbitrary
code execution.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 3.7.2-7.

But, in the Debian Sarge there the libtiff package has
Version: 3.7.2-3 and not 3.7.2-7 .
