Hello again!

After some more detective work, I noticed that the issue did not occur on 
self-compiled WindowMaker from the git-repo, which made me think what the 
debian packaged version might be doing differently ...

It turns out that the deb passes "--enable-randr" flag to wmaker 
configure, which is the root cause of this issue. The option flag
is marked "enable RandR extension support (NOT recommended, buggy)".

Doing a rebuild of the package with edited debian/rules that has
--enable-randr removed fixes the problem.

It seems that the flag was enabled in this change:
