Typing something like this at the prompt should tell you where the

dlocate /usr/include/X11/extensions/shape.h
We could even try to get GNUstep working without that extension, this
will just require some more configuration parameters. Anybody
willing to
take this?
The shape extension is a pretty basic part of X11. I don't think I've
seen an X server in over a decade that didn't support it. XFixes
makes it a lot simpler to use though and allows clipping lists to be
stored on the server as an opaque type, and it's largely unrequired
with the composite extension. What does GNUstep use the shape
extension for? I don't think I've seen any GNUstep apps with holes in
windows, and haven't seen anything in GORM for creating them.
