In the WindowMaker FAQ number 2,3 regarding switch cde to WM, the method 1
doesnt work on Solaris 10 sparc and the second method is a bad approach to
the solution.

I am trying to find a solution following Sun desktop standard for example,
Windomaker can be an option in dtlogin, as JDS and CDE are.

I dont intent to convert this solaris box in a linux one but use the
software avaliable for both systems.

I would to read a document that address this problem following Sun
implementation of X systems, we dont use gdm, for example.

Yes, it should be mention in the internal documentation, the magic flag
points to /bin/sh, assuming linux.
