I've got Graphos working correctly with GNUstep on OS X again. The problem was 
that my GSLPR printer configuration got messed up during an OS X upgrade. The 
printer's ppd file was moved to a different place. After correcting its path in 
the defaults, Graphos's document windows appear correctly on my systems.
Probably you should check your printer configuration (and maybe handle the case 
when no printer is available in -updatePrintInfo: by assuming some standard 
page format).
