Hi Ron,

I got this error too. On my machine the problem was the pthread
library that is now (glib-1.1.9) linked with every application:

ldd wmakerconf:
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x402fc000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40308000)

My system is a SuSE5.3, with the following (broken?) pthread library:
