It helped indeed. I updated netclasses and TalkSoup, and now it opens a channel 
tab!

I still have a problem with building TalkSoup within the ports infrastructure.
in Output/GNUstepOutput/GNUmakefile.postamble there is under:

before-all::
   ... some other stuff
   $(MAKE) -C Tools all
   $(MAKE) -C Tools install

The last line is bad, since its called when just make is called, and not in the 
install stage. When its calling the install target in the Tools directory, its 
issuing
a chown command, which is forbidden in that stage of build, and stops the
whole build. I have to restart it a second time, then it will go over it, and 
continue to the end.

I tried to move that line to a different target like this:

before-install::
        $(MAKE) -C Tools install

Then the build succeeds, and it also creates the two tools, but the 
before-install:: doesn't seem to get called, or not at the right time,
and the two tools are not installed correctly.

Do you have a better idea about that one?

Attached the remaining warnings when compiling. But as far as I understood
the thread on the other m/l, they are not nice, but also not too much to worry 
about?

Since due to your great work, TalkSoup seems to work fine again with current
GNUstep. I'll see that I get it tested on macppc later this week too.
In the TalkSoup git on github, there are a handful of additional Input/Output 
modules,
which I think we should also add to our GAP version.

cheers,
Sebastian
