I had similar problems at one point, I still dont know what caused them,
but I was able to work around the issue by removing most of wmii's
components and installing the latest hg release...not a fix but a
solution, could have been some leftovers from a previous install or
something, as i think my wmii.sh was messed up along with some other stuff
  Thanks
