I'm trying out GNUstep apps under FreeBSD 4.7 with XFree86 3.x and the XFree86 4.2 libraries. I've tried Fluxbox and Windowmaker (latest ports). Most, if not all of the GNUstep app windows and menus are unruly. In GNUmail, the app menu won't go away. It stays on top of everything, and will not close, shade, or go below another window. This is the case with every app menu of GNUstep applications. The other apps are even worse. Gomoku only shows a tiny, distorted window in the middle of my screen, which looks like a window and titlebar shrunk down to about one character wide. It will not resize. Does anyone have any ideas? I don't have the first clue what could be wrong, since I've seen the same problem under 2 windowmanagers that are so different, and WindowMaker is supposed to be GNUstep compliant.
