For me at least the problem with changing the background is a
common one. wmsetbg is shelled out to with an "&" on the end.
Remove the "&" and recompile and the "problem" goes away.
The latest WindowMaker 0.53 compiles without any other problems.

In general if a script or program tries to shell out with a
"&" a gpf occurs. The "&" does not appear to be necessary anyway.
