The error gets more bizare...

adding:
. /usr/GNUstep/System/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH > /tmp/test.ld

to the autostart file reveils a filled LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the test.ld file.

But no apps are autolaunched and starting rxvt shows an empty 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH

So the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable gets destroyed after wmaker is started...

I am now gonna remove everything that is autostarted. From wmaker...
