I package GNUstep for Arch Linux, which has an /etc/profile.d
directory containing files to be sourced at login. I simply symlink
$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh to /etc/profile.d/gnustep
and everything works fine. You really shouldn't need to do anything
more than source that file to have your environment set up properly.
As far as the GNUstep daemons are concerned (gdomap, gbps, gdnc, etc.)
you will have to find a distro-specific answer for that. What
distribution are you using?
