No, because it asserts that plist->type should be equal to WPLDictionary,
without checking for a NULL plist argument.

OK, first of all I don't run WindowMaker so this is not going to be up
my alley, but I can guess, and maybe get you going a little further:
It seems that plist == NULL. If you type 'frame 1' in gdb after the bt
you should get the line where WMGetFromPLDictionary is called, this
is at menu.c:2720 as gdb says. The NULL pointer seems to be
scr->session_state, in other words, there doesn't seem to be a
session state loaded.
My rough guess is that something in your .wmaker startup dir is
screwed. Have you tried to remove that to test if it works then?
Otherwise you need to trace the code and try to figure out why
scr->session_state isn't being initialized like it should.

Other than the above hints, no, sorry. You'll probably get better help
from the wmaker mailing list.
