This is again a CRLF-problem. I experienced the same problems and
workarounded
them by a trick. I guess the place where
/home/adminstrator/GNUstep/Defaults/WMstate
is a text-mount. So you have to ensure that when WMaker is closed all
~/GNUstep/Defaults/* files are converted from CRLF to CR back again to
be readable
by WMAKER. I did it by editing WMaker's exitscript.
'~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/exitscript':
type -p d2u > /dev/null && if [ -x "$(type -p d2u)" ] ; then
d2u ~/GNUstep/Defaults/*
d2u /usr/local/etc/WindowMaker/*

aterm works fine for me, too.
