Maybe the gmodel/plist code isn't expecting to read XML coded property 
lists (e.g. do you have gnustep-base compiled with libxml?). Or perhaps 
there is a difference in the way plists are generated on MacOSX with how 
gnustep-base expects them. Perhaps just try to see if gnustep-base can 
read the gmodel file as is (e.g. with the plparse tool).

Don't know about the Gorm problem. Perhaps if sent the file I could look 
at it.
