Ok i got GWorkspace from cvs, and the new gnustep core packages released
today, and the same problem occured. I also had to make a few small
changes in the GWorkspace code to get it to compile, moving the
declaration of id popUp to the top of - (void)showProcesses:(id)sender,
line 1723 in GWorkspace/GWorkspace.m , and the same with  NSSize size;
in the function - (void)activateForPath:(NSString *)path  , line 124 of
GWorkspace/Inspectors/Viewers/ImageViewer/ImageViewer.m     ...( i think
there was something else as well but i forget...).

Is this a gcc 2.96 vs gcc 3.x thing? Can you declare new variables
anywhere with Objective C with gcc 3.x? I ask out of complete ignorance,
seeing as yesterday afternoon was the first time i really looked at
objective c. It has been suggested in another thread that i use gcc 3.x
anyway, so i'll probably try with that..

regards, jordan.
