We need a Window Manager that is design for GNUstep (and not only a Info
Panel that claim it is the GNUstep Window Manager :))

Window Maker does't not understand: 
-GNUstep Pastboard 
-GNUstep Bundle
-dock is not write with AppKit (comming soon here)
-Clip is not Fiend (coming soon)
-background is not an NSView that allow to us NSPasteboard
-It mess with Window levels 
......

(but it is the best..err less worse of X window Manager for GNUstep :))

I use several patch for Window Maker (one to a better NSMenu Management)
Window Maker is not well maintain Alfredo & dan are very busy.
and I have no idea if they plan to be "THE GNUstep Window Manager" (under X)

I think you need a more recent GNUstep-gui (AppKit) or GNUstep-back
I think this is fix there.

What backend do you use (back-art ?) ?

Enrico, this is the first mail I received from
address@hidden ?
Did you subscribe me ???

I think address@hidden should be enough until we don't have lot of 
users... that send feedbacks :)
