Well, WindowMaker doesn't use GNUstep, it uses its own toolkit. So it's 
technically perfectly normal that WindowMaker themes are not used on 
GNUstep automatically :-)
As adam said, GNUstep doesn't have themes for the moment (well, you can 
change easily the color scheme, if you want..), but a theme engine 
should be released soon. I'm not sure it will be able to read 
WindowMaker themes -- at the moment it's not the primary goal -- but 
it's something that could be nice, yes. In fact ideally it can be nice 
to have some kind of common "format"/bundle for themes between 
WindowMaker and GNUstep. We'll see :-)
