Try another window manager to see if this works (e.g. fvwm2), or an
xterm. If this works, there probably is a bug in windowmaker.
Otherwise, the problem could be your display (debian:1), in particular
if "debian" can't be resolved (I had such a problem in the past, but
not specifically to vnc). Here, $DISPLAY is ":1.0", and there's no
problem.
