I've been told that Ubuntu might not be the best choice for running
wmii. I really only did it because at the time, and still really, I was
only familiar with Ubuntu and didn't/don't have the time to familiarize
myself with how to get around another linux distro -- I'm a thesising
college student. But once I'm done with school I fully plan on moving to
another distro, not just because of wmii *caugh*ubuntu sucks*caugh*.
Lucky for me right now, however, the new build works perfectly. However
Ubuntu does things seems to have made it so the upgrade build took hold
automatically. So I'm good to go. Thanks everyone for the help.

So I had already done that, which made me wonder why you were
suggesting it, because obviously I must have done something wrong
when I tried to hg that URL. I hadn't realized that I needed to
build that after getting it. I did and everything worked. I built
wmii-3.9.2. Which leaves me now wondering, what next? I'm using
Ubuntu. When I installed from the Ubuntu Software Center it added
an option at the login for me to change desktop environments. Will
this new build override that or do I need to do something else? I
am under the impression that putting the expected line of code to
start wmii with startx will not work for Ubuntu? If this is
reaching outside the realm of wmii I can ask elsewhere.

Yes, you might want to take some of these questions to something like
the Ubuntu IRC channel. You can use startx with Ubuntu but it's not
really the Ubuntu way of doing things. Really, if you want to be using
software like wmii maybe Ubuntu is not the right place for you...
