1) I seem to have trouble with modal dialogs with the current GNUstep (haven't had this problem with the ancient tree I was using since recently). My app simply shows a window with a button. If I click on this button I do
int result = NSRunAlertPanel(@"Test", @"Some Test", @"OK", nil, nil);
This works exactly one time (panel closes when hitting the OK button). If I do this again the modal dialog is not closed anymore when hitting the OK button and the app hangs (in the modal loop). :-(
Here ist the stack:

Any idea? I am on Ubuntu 16.04 with relatively recent GNUstep sources (2-3 months old) and the default Ubuntu desktop environment.
2) I also discovered the following other phenomena. When running an app under WindowMaker, clicking on the "..." of an NSComboBox does nothing. This works when using the Ubuntu window server though. This is no show stopper for me - like the above mentioned problem - but I would prefer to use WindowMaker if possible. Is anybody actually using WindowMaker with GNUstep and possibly has encountered the same problem?
Thanks a lot,
Andreas
