My feeling here is that, while GWorkspace should be part of gnustep, it
shouldn't be the only possible Workspace application. NSWorkspace should use a
variable, such as GSWorkspaceApplication or something to determine which
application to contact when it is necessary to do so. The default value
should be GWorkspace, but should be changable to something else, should the
user decide to do so.
Honestly, I really like GWorkspace and I do use it as my default desktop file
manager. If I ever want to switch (unlikely), I would appreciate the ability
to do so.
Later, GJC
