Oh! This is another kind of problem. To have a GNUstep
implementation over GNOME or over KDE like we would have one over
MS-Windows. I guess it could be resolved with a new backend.
(And here you see the advantage of managing the app icons in the
NSApplication class rather than in an external program: the backend
can map them to the native paradigm (whatever they have in GNOME or
KDE)).
But I'm under the impression that it's quite possible to run GNOME
without any app icon panel or whatever they have. Since it's a
separate program, I'm quite sure I have occasionally run GNOME without
this program being able to run. In addition, when I run KDE or GNOME
programs with WMaker, I don't have that program either.
Another question would be whether a GNUstep Dock should create an
application icon window for non-GNUstep applications. That's what
WMaker does, not always very successfully I must say.

Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.
