I have plans[*] for WindowMaker, which start with a patch.  However 
that patch will not be applied until I finish my degree, in four 
weeks.  After that the patch will occur.  Even if WindowMaker is then 
left in my own hands, I will host/support it; I love the look+feel and 
don't want it to go.  It may become a less-than-official GNUstep WM 
but I don't give a monkey's; GNUstep is wrong unless it's in 
WindowMaker.

So there ya go :-).  Fixes to WMaker will definitely be accepted by 
July, even if I have to take the project over myself.  I'm more than 
happy to do so.

Graham.

[*]I also have plans for GNUstep on Darwin/x86; but they *start* with 
the port of WMaker :-)
