root generally doesnt have privileges to X. so you should run it as a
normal user. given that, are you currently in a X environment?
i just did installed wmaker and it showed up under my display manager
(gdm) and that is how i got it to run. but there is about a bazillion
ways to use different window managers.
if you want an easy way do:
# aptitude install gdm

ps. if you care, i personally use sawfish and gnome and i find it to be
clean and nice. (sawfish has tons of keyboard shortcut capabilities)
