Yes, and no- these days it doesn't matter much with the advancement of
in-window menus, etc in GNUstep. However, WindowMaker does have special
code for GNUstep to make the NeXT interface style (palette menu,
appicons, miniwindows, etc) work and behave better. Just take a look at
src/GNUstep.h in the source code.
