When I tried to get back to windowmaker, with ctrl-alt-F2, it wasn't the gui, it was a console with all the X information on it, and I couldn't get back into the gui.  Had to cntrl-Z and kill it.

Hi Tamara,
I use ctrl-Alt-F7 to return the GUI. This works for AfterStep and it
also worked for fvwm. I suspect this is an X thing rather than a
particular window manager.

Perhaps give that a go?
