I don't know if it's the best method (I'm new to GNUstep too) but it works.

Create delegate object to your NSTextField and implements 
controlTextDidChange like this :

(here textField is your NSTextField and you must have called [textField 
setDelegate: anObject] where anObject have the next method)

-(void) controlTextDidChange: (id)sender
{
  NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [NSAutoreleasePool new];

  if ([[textField stringValue] length] > 10)
    {
      [textField setStringValue: [NSString stringWithString: 
[[textField stringValue] substringToIndex: 10]]];
    }

  RELEASE(pool);
}

The problem when you use this is that when the number of letters exceed 
10, the focus is lost by the textField. (I'm looking for a solution).
