Timidity is not really necessary, only for Midi files. I changed DESCR into
this:

Cynthiune is a versatile music player based on GNUstep, able to play a
lot of different audio formats.
Install audio/timidity port to allow Cynthiune to play Midi files.

Hope the wording is OK, and the rest of the port too.

The recommended window manager from the GNUstep project, and
also which gets installed with the gnustep-desktop meta package, is 
WindowMaker. With that one, I don't see those warnings.
