which windowmaner are you using?

As others wrote, certain ones are known to cause issues. However, I do 
sometimes have issues with classic WindowMaker too: it often happens 
when several apps start at once. E.g. "gopen -a MyApp.app" causes also 
GWorkspace to startup and things layer wrong. Clicking first on one 
application, then on the other, usually sort things out and then they 
remain OK.
