Re: White background in icons and WM integration

[cehardin]

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.

Could somebody point me in the right direction as to where this reliance 
on WMaker resides in the GNUstep source tree?
