Could you elaborate on this (I mean, what does not work yet)?
I gave it a quick try with a IB generated nib file and things
worked fine -- apart from the general problem with using Mac nib
files under GNUstep: The geometry of all objects is larger and some
background colors are wrong. In particular, I have a NSTableView
in that nib and it gets a white background, apparently because
that's the default in Aqua but nevertheless gets encoded explicitly
in the nib. Since GNUstep uses a grey background and colors selected
lines white it becomes, errr, difficult to identify the selected lines.
That said, this looks like a principle problem with Mac nibs and not
one related to standalone views.
