WindowMaker crashing - debugging

[Riccardo Mottola <riccardo.mottola%libero.it@localhost>]

Hi,

I still have the problem that after my June update of current and 
subsequent pkg/pkgsrc update with pkg_rolling-replace windowmaker 
crashes when running most apps (emacs, firefox and even xterm, although 
all GNUstep apps I have compiled locally do run).

How can I build windowmaker from pkgsrc with debug enabled? Is there 
some kind of "make debug=yes" or an option in mk.conf? that all 
debugging symbols get stripped since my stacktrace is unusable. and I 
just need this single page rebuilt that way.

It is strange that xterm does make windowmaker crash, but xedit not. I 
can think that emacs and firefox are based on gtk which itneracts 
differently with the window manager.

I then tried several of these bundled X programs.

xeyes, xedit, xclock, xev all do start up fine, even xfontsel.
