Re: GNUStep Window Manager

[Yen-Ju Chen]

WindowMaker is the "official" window manager for GNUstep
because GNUstep applications work O.K. with it.
But WindowMaker is written in C, not using GNUstep as framework.
Therefore, WindowMaker treates GNUstep applications as normal applications,
and it may not easy to integrate GWorkspace with WindowMaker
because they use different libraries/languages.
I don't know whether you can "stick" GWorkspace in WindowMaker
so that it will show up in all the WindowMaker workspaces.

I never try AfterStep with GNUstep applications.
But some window managers have problems with GNUstep applications.
