hmm, i guess the precompiled version of windowmaker was linked with
libpng.so.0, so you either get the source from www.windowmaker.com
(it's very easy to compile, even for a linux newbie) or get the old
libpng.so library and install it, you can check your libpng version
with the command 'ldconfig -p|grep libpng' in shell.
