>Description:

When running Windowmaker-0.91.0, most QT applications start fine but hang
as soon as one of their menu entries is selected. It depends from application
to application, but generally trying to open a file dialog is enough to
cause the application window to freeze.

>How-To-Repeat:

Run windowmaker on your local display and launch konqueror.
Select the menu entry File/Open Location.
The konqueror window becomes unresponsive.
	
>Fix:

Do not run windowmaker-0.91.0 on your display.

windowmaker-0.80.2_3 (port taken from 5.3-RELEASE) does not cause the
problem. Neither does any other window manager I have tested.

Alternatively, running windowmaker-0.91.0 and using X11 display forwarding
with ssh (ssh -X localhost) eliminates the problem. Using trusted display
forwarding (ssh -Y) does not.
