And, eventually, success! I have a working Ubuntu Precise VM with
X.org, Window Maker, GWorkspace and all Philippe's apps except Grr,
which throws an error about needing a package that is already
installed:

root@ubuntustep:/usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications# apt-get install grr.app
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 grr.app : Depends: gnustep-back0.20 (>= 0.20.0) but it is not going
to be installed
           Depends: libgnustep-gui0.20 (>= 0.20.0) but it is not going
to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
