Are you running with X11, right? I do run sometimes with Apple's X11 on 
10.3 and 10.4, by exporting display from a GNUstep machine over the 
network. Thus exposing problems with the Rootless Apple X11 server

The Application Icons have a grey stripe for me too!

Furthermore I have troubles with menus. As in your screenshot I get a 
window title for each submenu, which apparently shifts down the mouse 
tracking compared to the actual menu and after abit of clicking, it 
shifts down to one or even more menu items, making usage very tricky!

I don't remember about the white corner, but I will check.

I don't believe these are problems with your fork, but problems with the 
interaction of the rootless window server. Also windows Xming can be 
rootless and I remember problems although less problematic, but Xming is 
a breeze to run Rooted, while Apple's (t least  the older versions) not.
