the problem is that both gnome and WM are doing session management.  You
need to turn it off in one or the other.  If you don't want gnome's
session management then dont run gnome-session :) instead start up window
maker.  the first time you'll also have to start up gmc, panel, etc.  Or
you could turn off windomakers session managment, and just use
gnome-session.

at least, this is what i think.
