Ah, yes. That is a MacOS X 10.3 extension. Should have thought of that.

 I'd be very grateful if you could let me know which one that was. I'll 
try to add checks for these selectors and workarounds.

 Is there any GNUstep-recommended way of dragging around a custom window?

 Thanks. Did you get the version that already tries to put the various 
"sub-windows" in sensible locations, or the one that just stacked them 
in the lower right? I fixed the latter a couple of days after uploading 
the code.

 I'll try to fix any issues that prevent use on GNUstep and put the new 
sources up at http://www.zathras.de/programming/cocoa_stuff.php in case anyone 
wants to use it in one of their apps or expand upon it. 
I may occasionally get back to it depending on how much I'm annoyed by 
other user interfaces that could profit from this and smoothe it out 
some more.
