Okay.. somebody probably replied to this already.. but... 

  the windowmanagers locker was overhauled and everything recompiled..
  Stuff was compiled on a NEtBSD-1.2 machine, which I believe uses XFRee3.x
where x is larger than what you have. the right thing to do is get the new
libraries, or preferably, upgrade to NetBSD-Athena 1.2

  until you're done with that, the old windowmanagers are still around
in 
	/afs/athena/project/windowmanagers/

BUT
  they will go away in the forseeable future, so do NOT just leave your machine
in an un-updated state. Also, as time goes by, more software will be compiled
for 1.2, and you will find more and more things breaking

	(or so I would guess)
