Oh, pardon me. Did I forgot the <irony> tag?  ;-P

Seriously, I don't consider this as a real problem.

When I first installed KDE version 1 (and the same applies to the
first GNOME release) it was much more hassle that GNUstep will ever be.
And things have gotten worse since then (for compiling/installing KDE/GNOME).

The problem is than GNUstep is no replacement for KDE/GNOME, since it
lacks applications, or at least one killer app (don't ask me what kind
of application that could be).

The installation process is the last thing I worry about ...
