Hi,
From time to time, nostalgia makes me try to imitate the NextStep experience on my old laptop, using Windowmaker and GNUstep. (I never used a NextStep, but I read and reread and article about it in Byte magazine (that many years ago indeed)).

very good!

I re-einstalled GNUstep and some applications from source, using CLANG 3.3, on Fedora 18. Gorm and ProjectCenter seem to work, I created and compiled an appliction from the documentation. I made some drawings with GRraphos, and reeive my mail with GNUMail (though sending is not working yet:-)
That means you shouldn't have major problems then!

When trying GWorkspace however, I got a segmentation fault.

edwin@ottopedi tmp]$ openapp GWorkspace

The problem is dat I can not find the core dump.
I hope others can help more about why don't you find a core file, since I get one.

here some questions though
1) were you running a previous version of GWorkspace that worked and now you are tyring to run current? It shouldn't be stricly necessary, but delete the defaults ("defaults delete GWorkspace" or delete the plist file directly before launching it)
2) what version are you running? last stable release or current SVN head?
3) does it crash during startup before you do anything or is there a certain operation that makes it crash? 4) run it with "gdb GWorkspace" instead as with openapp, it should allow you to get a stacktrace.

Thanks for using it, hopefully we get it sorted out, I wanted to make a GWorkspace release soon or at least before the end of 2013!
