I did some more testing. I reloaded my box and started windowmaker. tried to load firefox from an rxvt term. A window never came up but it was listed in top. exited from wm and "su -" to root, startx and typed firefox. It worked as planned. closed and exited from xwindows and as su. started wmaker again and then I could start firefox as planned. So something isn't right.
