Yes that happens on KDE too, ugly!   What's the window manager under Mac OSX 
X11?

But the problem is the window manager, KDE adds too many decorations and that 
backfires in the case of GNUstep applications.  In contrast WindowMaker looks 
perfect, my only complaint is the slowness (but I'm using Windows XP as an 
X-terminal with XFree's port under Cygwin).
