Re: How to work in GNUStep?

[Dennis Leeuw]

Just to make sure nothing is left do:
<editor>  <homedir>/GNUstep/Defaults/.GNUstepDefaults

And empty the following sections:
NSGlobalDomain = {
    };
gdnc = {
    };

This will give you some errors about timezones etc. while starting .apps but
ignore for now.
