I made a test on an older 5.1 OpenBSD, with following packages installed:
nustep-make-2.6.1
gnustep-base-1.22.1p0
gnustep-gui-0.20.0
gnustep-back-0.20.1p1
gnustep-netclasses-1.06
talksoup-1.0alpha

The alpha version, just with a few patches to actually let it compile and 
install.

With the older GNUstep versions, the /join #gnustep 
just worked as expected. So with newer gnustep base/gui, there is something
broken :(
