On FreeBSD, I start gdomap when the system boots up. When I log in and
fire up X11 (currently no xdm or similar) I start gdnc and gpbs in
~/.xinitrc Though gdnc is complaining about not being able to contact
gdomap, everything is working fine.

OTOH, occasionally, I stop all GNUstep-related tools (usually when
updating GNUstep) and forget to re-launch'em again. But once I fire up
any GNUstep application (Gorm most notably) all required tools are
automatically started without any problems or messages (except those
that they ARE being started).
