	I also had xmms crash X alot when I was using it with Windowmaker 
on a Debian system.  It worked fine on NetBSD when I was running 
Blackbox.  I never did install Windowmaker on NetBSD though, so I can't 
say if it is a generic Windowmaker issue.  I do remember I that it 
crashed everytime when I changed to certain skins.  I think my issue was 
more an on-board graphic chip issue, but I didn't do much testing to 
find out for sure.
