Re: All GNUstep apps have blank windows, and lots of apps won't compile

[Fred Kiefer]

I will only reply on the display problem. Form your mail I would expect that 
you are using the default art backand and this issue is caused by an unusual 
display mode. When you start up a GNUstep application is there any message? 
There are known issues for some 16 bit display modes for the art backend, in 
that case it would be a possible solution to switch to the (still experimental) 
cairo backend.
Or to implement the missing display mode support :-)
