Actually, I don't know how to (besides compiling from source), since the
binary from the ubuntu package doesn't contain debug symbols :/

When running wmii within a nested X session (Xephyr) (so it doesn't kill
my gdm -.-) I just see

{{{

The logs (/var/log/gdm/*; ~/.xsesson-errors; /var/log/Xorg.*) don't seem
to contain any information.

Please let me know if I may provide you with any further information.
