I can't address your other points directly/immediately, but the GNUstep folder 
in the home directory is merely a default (chosen so that people can easily 
find their stuff).
You can override it by setting a different value for GNUSTEP_USER_DIR in your 
.GNUstep.conf file

eg.

GNUSTEP_USER_DIR=.GNUstep

if you want to use the same name with a dot before it.
In fact you can individually override the various different folders for 
different kinds of personal resources, not just the main folder which 
conventionally contains them. 

In short, YES, you can put a '.' before the name to make it hidden.
