Close GWorkspace and then do a right click above the Gworkspace icon at
dock. I suppose you will see the 6 items menu including "Settings".
Select "Setting". Now in the field that have the command to open
GWorkspace, write the absolute path to gworkspace (something
like: /usr/GNUstep/Local/Applications/GWorkspace.app/GWorkspace), save
the changes and try again. Hope this help.
