GNUstep.sh sets up LD_LIBRARY_PATH to enable the linker to find the 
libraries that are otherwise missing when you invoke openapp. Thus, 
sourcing GNUstep.sh from your .bashrc is recommended to have everything 
in place when you open a new terminal window. If you want to run 
applications directly from Window Maker, it's advisable to also source 
GNUstep.sh from the Window Maker autostart script in 
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker.
