ProjectBuilderWO.app creates correct application bundles if one has a file CustomInfo.plist with at least the following contents in the project directory.

CFBundleIconFile = "HolzPool.icns";

This corresponds to the ICON variable in application.make. However, the app bundle (Contents folder) contains in addition to the file Info-macos.plist with 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>HolzPool</string>
<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
<string>HolzPool.icns</string>
<key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
<string>APPL</string>
<key>CFBundleSignature</key>
<string>????</string>
<key>NSMainNibFile</key>
<string>HolzPool</string>
<key>NSPrincipalClass</key>
<string>NSApplication</string>
</dict>
</plist>


also a file PkgInfo with

APPL????

I am not sure what this is good for. However, it appears, that the applications created by GNUstep make work correctly with the Dock in 10.2 and 10.3 but not in 10.3, may be because of this missing file.

Has anybody more info about this?
