NEXTSPACE source tree includes some applications from GAP: Terminal (a lot
of fixes, additions and polishing) , TimeMon, TextEdit, loginpanel.app
(Login). I'm for including more applications - I just don't have time for
this doing myself.

If I remove NeXT graphics it will be what you want. ;) Seriously, replacing
the graphics is a very easy! I've included NeXT graphics to share an idea
what desktop/developer environment I wish to be.
I think, carefully prepared graphics is essential to project success. But I
don't see the designers around to do so.

Have you ever tried to use NEXTSPACE? ;) Login.app has some of your code.
It is pure GNUstep application.
Try it - it's already usable.

I had the same reasons when started NEXTSPACE (as I wrote in announcement
letter to this list). I plan to return to ProjectCenter development after
NEXTSPACE release.
I guess we can join our efforts.
