Btw. I'm not going to consider GNUstep for my apps, unless it has an EWMH mode.
Do we know which EWMH are missing?
Yes. See back/Documentation/Back/Standards.txt

WindowMaker Protocols and Client Messages
=========================================
_GNUSTEP_WM_MINIATURIZE_WINDOW
The _GNUSTEP_WM_MINIATURIZE_WINDOW protocol tells the WM that the
application can handle miniaturization of a window. The WM can then
send a CLientMessage of the WM_PROTOCOLS type telling the app to
miniaturize the window.
_GNUSTEP_TITLEBAR_STATE
The app can send a ClientMessage with the _GNUSTEP_TITLEBAR_STATE
message type, telling the WM which state the window is in, allowing the
WM to change the appearance of the title bar appropriately. The states are:
Key Window(0), Normal Window(1), Main Window(2). The main window is the window
the user is currently working in. The key window is the window that has
keyboard focus.
_GNUSTEP_WM_ATTR
Property for setting various attributes about the window. Can also
be sent as a Client Message for faster handling. The structure
passed in the property request is:
typedef struct {
CARD32 flags;
CARD32 window_style;
CARD32 window_level;
CARD32 reserved;
Pixmap miniaturize_pixmap; // pixmap for miniaturize button
Pixmap close_pixmap; // pixmap for close button
Pixmap miniaturize_mask; // miniaturize pixmap mask
Pixmap close_mask; // close pixmap mask
CARD32 extra_flags;
} GNUstepWMAttributes;
where flags is a set of ORed values:
WindowStyle(1<<0), WindowLevel(1<<1), MiniaturizePixmap(1<<3),
ClosePixmap(1<<4), MiniaturizeMask(1<<5), CloseMask(1<<6),
ExtraFlags(1<<7).
If ExtraFlags is set, then extra_flags can be:
DocumentEditedFlag(1<<0), WindowWillResizeNotificationsFlag(1<<1),
WindowWillMoveNotificationsFlag(1<<2), NoApplicationIconFlag(1<<5),
WMFHideOtherApplications(10), WMFHideApplication(12)
Window Style can be an ORed value consiting of any one or more of
NSBorderlessWindowMask(0), NSTitledWindowMask(1),
NSClosableWindowMask(2), NSMiniaturizableWindowMask(4),
NSResizableWindowMask(8), NSIconWindowMask(64) NSMiniWindowMask(128).
Window Level can be one of NSDesktopWindowLevel(-1000),
NSNormalWindowLevel(0), NSFloatingWindowLevel(3),
NSSubmenuWindowLevel(3), NSTornOffMenuWindowLevel(3),
NSMainMenuWindowLevel(20), NSStatusWindowLevel(21),
NSModalPanelWindowLevel(100), NSPopUpMenuWindowLevel(101),
NSScreenSaverWindowLevel(1000).
