 Many of the problems related to the applications, not GNUstep.
 You probably need to report bugs to individual project.
 I usually run a hybrid of GNOME and GNUstep applications.
 Not every GNUstep application is actively maintained.
 So I usually pick the one I know is working stably.

 Regarding to your problem of "crashed cleanly the same time",
 the only common thing I can think among all GNUstep applications
 are gdomap and gdnc.
 I am not sure the crash of gdomap or gdnc will
 bring down all GNUstep applications.
 I use Ubuntu/PPC and build GNUstep from source.
 I have never had this problem though.
