May be not .... You may be right, my knowledge of C is not that great. I am hoping
here at having to make minor changes in the code.
I found the line
static char *WmStr[17] = {WmNoChange,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL};
where the variable is defined. Now, it seems to me that the garbled output begun
before the 12th window manager, or even before the 13th (17-4=13, guessing the use of
NULLs), so I am not sure about what to do next.
Assuming the needed change is just to write, say, 100 instead of 17. Then what, should
I follow the instructions given in

??
Thanks to all, and special thanks to Noah.
