Well, GNUstep itself is NOT a desktop -- so such a guide is probably a  
bit outside
the scope of the project (GNUstep is a library implementation plus dev  
tools).

For a GNUstep-based desktop, look at Backbone and Étoilé.
...even if none of them provides such a guide yet.

But a two seconds search on google ("nextstep ui guide") gives me this  
page:
http://freespace.virgin.net/linux.users/step_main.html

there's also the original NeXTSTEP visual guide to the interface:
http://www.channelu.com/NeXT/NeXTStep/3.3/nd/UserInterface/ 
01_VisualGuide/VisualGuide.htmld/
http://www.channelu.com/NeXT/NeXTStep/3.3/nd/

while thoses pages refers to NeXTSTEP, GNUstep+WindowMaker is close  
enough that you should find them interesting..

Though, I think Dennis started a similar guide once.. ?
