Sorry, I was wrong. This seems to be a totally unrelated problem to the
gui changes I recently made. Actually I am getting a similar problem for
each GNUstep application I start up. It reports:

007-03-12 22:54:13.577 GSTest[29400] File NSUserDefaults.m: 552. In
[NSUserDefaults +standardUserDefaults] Improper installation: No
language locale found

Every other time I start an application it then also complains that the
main Gorm file could not be loaded or an alert is displayed with the text:
NSInternalInconsistencyException: unable to contact GDNC server -
please check that the gdnc process is running.
I attempted to start it at '/usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/gdnc'

Here is the backtrace I get from this:

Once it did even display an editor for the user defaults, which is
something I didn't even know we had.

I would say some recent change to base must have caused this. No idea if
it was the one by Richard or the one from Nicola.

Cheers,
Fred
