So, I did the promised test, and found with gnustep core from svn, all is 
working fine,
PRICE, GWorkspace, and also SimpleAgenda, at least with regard to the Gorm 
loading problem. 
Not much else tested so far. As it seems, their Gorm files were all edited with
gnustep core newer than the latest releases. 
So the question I have now, is there an easy way to get them working with
the latest releases to make packagers like me happy? ;)

cheers,
Sebastian
