The last lines from ./configure:

Window Maker was configured as follows:
 
Installation path prefix : /usr/local
Installation path for binaries : /usr/local/bin
Installation path for WPrefs.app : /usr/local/GNUstep/Applications
Supported graphic format libraries : XPM PNG JPEG GIF TIFF builtin-PPM
Use assembly routines for wrlib : yes
Use inline MMX(tm) x86 assembly : yes
Antialiased text support in WINGs : yes
Xinerama extension support : no
Translated message files to install : None

But Menu->Info-> doesn't show PNGs>

While this is irritating, at least the Gnome Panel works better now, and
KDE icons seem to behave properly. I'm thinking I can come back to
WindowMaker, either by itself or with Gnome.
