I have been unable to run any window manager in X, including sawmill, enlightenment, twm, wm2, as well as gnome panel. However, other apps work okay like xterm and netscape. I did an strace of several of these apps, and it seems that they all segfault in the same area. Here is some of the output from wm2:

Does this mean anyghint to anyone? I've also attached the full log of
the strace if you need more information. It's not very big. Thanks.
