Exactly, since it performs its duties well...
We complete WindowMaker for its experience as a Workspace. Which sense 
does it make to run GWorkspace inside GNOME? WindowMaker does not 
compete with GNOME, luckily!

Yes, I perfectly understand. When GNUstep still run on Solaris 2.6, I 
took the time to integrate GNUstep+Windowmaker as a full parified option 
into dtlogin, so you could choose it along "CDE" and "OpenLook".
