Not just that, but if GNUstep itself handles window management + decorations
(GSXHandlesWindowDecoration==NO) you will have focusing issues with menus
disappearing, application windows disappearing, etc.  And with this setup
the assumption is that GNUstep doesn't have to deal with anything but
itself.

That being said, I think we're already off to a better start this year than
last!  Last years projects where great, but I felt there was a little bit of
a lack of communication between the students and the mailing-list.  I'm the
type of person that likes to be informed all the time about everything (I
track the changes to SVN through CIA.vc daily).

I also like the fact that we have at least one student that came over from
the Mac world as this shows that GNUstep is growing beyond a grassroots-type
project.

If I didn't say it before: You guys are awesome! :)
