Actually it happens all the time if you insist on changing the background.
Do that operation for a while (changing the backgrund) and eventually it
will hang when switching to the 'Wave' background.
I am using the fixed patch, and all the pixmaps are in the fixed directory
(i.e. /usr/share/afterstep/start is kind of empty, most of the stuff is in
/u/s/a/f

With the current stability problems that both AfterStep and WindowMaker
have I am afraid that all I can do is to make it really easy to switch to
AfterStep and/or WindowMaker from the default interface, which will still
be AnotherLevel.
Did our sysadmin get back to any of you guys ? I might start kicking some
back here if he didn't do that.
