This is am issue I'm watching closely. I'm currently working on a
gnustep distyribution called Simply GNUstep which I hope will be as
easy to use and as integrated as OpenStep is (using linux kernel).
As such, I am looking into and seriously considering the idea of
creating a new graphical back-end which is tied to the framebuffer
device via the directfb project. As such, WindowMaker will not be
used, and a seperate Dock application will have to be written.
If the GNUstep code had direct ties to X11, then this will involve some
modification.
The X backend libraries obviously have ties to X ... however, those ties
are as small as we can practically
make them, and the xgps backend should provide a good starting point for
any other backend implementation
(though you would need to mostly rewrite it of course).
The main gui library is completely independent of the backend used, and
should not need any modification
(in theory).
Could somebody point me in the right direction as to where this
reliance on WMaker resides in the GNUstep source tree?
See core/xgps/Source/SharedX
There isn't really any window maker dependency ... but there is code to
make use of window-maker specific
features, to tell window maker how to behave nicely with the GNUstep
app. This allows window maker to be
better behaved than other window managers are.
