I just installed it from the repositories, offical package, with 
apt-get! I don't remember if I had to tweak the sesion myself or not: 
but I get to the standard ubuntu login panel and then after logging in I 
get into windowmaker.

Actually I forgot to check if I have live window resizing enabled or 
not... because you have to enable it in windowmaker and GNUstep IIRC. 
correctly.
