As a „purist”, I tried working with Debian packages when I first started 
playing with GNUstep. But today, to anyone who plans on using GNUstep more 
seriously, I recommend installing from source in whatever environment you have.
I do it on my personal PC. All gnustep related software is compiled from 
source, but installed in its own location (I always add the option 
--prefix=/opt to the 'configure' script)
But I use that pc very rarely.
 

That’s what the GNUstep developers are working with, and they can only fix 
issues you run into if you’re running the latest code. (Not to mention you can 
contribute more easily, too.)
 
And this is basically the reason why I do not participate a lot to this list. 
At work I develop in C++, using almost 2 tools: gnustep Terminal.app, and 
emacs. A little bit GWorkspace, but it is the official ubuntu 12.04 version, 
thus really too old to base any kind of contribution I could give. All the rest 
are unusable, in the version I have...
I would highly recommend you try the latest code and write a blogpost somewhere 
on specific issues you’re having. That way, an interested individual might go 
and look at your issues at their own leisure. And if a lot of people have 
specific issues, the only way interested individuals can know is to see them 
documented somewhere (and sufficiently specifically and sufficiently well 
described), pick the ones they’re interested in fixing, and look into them.

So, really, uninstall the packages and install either Philipe’s packages 
(they’re reasonably up to date) or compile from source code.

Thanks for chiming in ;-)
