Upgrade xlib6g to the latest version. Wmaker has a problem with the old one such that it crashes immediately (after xdm has finished). >I now downgraded back to the X11 packages in hamm, but the same >problem persists. > >I still don't understand what wmaker did.

Edit your user's ~/.xsession file and comment out the line which loads wmaker. And replace it with a different manager, preferably. I'd suggest giving wmaker another try though, after upgrading xlib6g.
