I've just removed GWorkspace and reinstalled it from gworkspace-0.5.3.tar.gz. I 
can't reproduce the problem. But there is an other user that has reported 
something similar.
Are you using GNUstep from cvs?

Anybody else with this problem? If yes, please, write to me or to the list.

What I can say, is that these are the only gorm files that I added or edited 
(gorm 0.3.0 from cvs), before releasing GWorkspace 0.5.3. It would be 
interesting if you would try to save these files with an older version of gorm.
