This is a backend bug. Whatever application you start first under  
WindowMaker
does not get a proper application menu or application icon. In fact,  
you can
reproduce the effect for any application by setting
  defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSIgnoreRootOffsets YES
I don't know if this is a known bug; if not I can file a bug report.
