With that patch to gnustep-base, which made it compile and installed 
successfully. Also gdnc, gpbs, gdomap seems to work (successfully goes into 
the background without a crash).
All the other gnustep based ports in the OpenBSD ports tree compile fine on my 
Origin 3000, but when I try to start an application, i.e. AddressManager then 
I see the folllowing output on the console:

2011-01-05 14:16:25.863 AddressManager[32051] NSCell.m:1196  Assertion failed 
in NSButtonCell(instance), method setImage:.  NSInvalidArgumentException
2011-01-05 14:16:25.865 AddressManager[32051] Exception occured while loading

2011-01-05 14:16:26.780 AddressManager[32051] Cannot load the main model file 
'AddressManager'

The application Icon shows up, and with some applications I see the menu, but 
I cannot get a window to open. I'm logged in to the system via ssh -X 

Similar output happens with all the other applications in the ports tree. The 
only one that seems to be fine is TimeMon, but there I also see those 
messages.

GNUstep in the OpenBSD ports tree is based on the latest gnustep-stable 
releases, the backend used is cairo.

any idea where I could/should poke around to find out what the problem is.

cheers,
Sebastian
