Personally, I think it would be a great idea, as I'd like to share
the icons views between waiho and gworkspace or others apps.. in the
free software world, reusability isn't higly developed (even if
in general it's way more than in the proprietary world), but with
GNUstep and Objective-C, we have the roots to made really highly reusable
components. Plus, as there isn't much gnustep apps developers, joining
efforts when possible should be an important goal..
btw, is it already possible to create gorm palettes ? theses widgets
should go in a palette...
