Some news about the first system where I faced the problem:  I had to
reboot (for some different reason) and now I can run UL nicely.  I
can confirm that it was actually "Hide" I used yesterday and that
double clicking the symbol helps bringing the application back.

1. Can you run it in gdb?

Perhaps I could do this later.

2. There is a bug in gnustep-base, can you see if you have a `gdnc'
  process running?  If not, try launching gdnc from your
  xsession/bashrc and see if it helps.

If I start UL a gdnc process is startet automatically.  In case I quit
the application this process is automatically quitted as well.  On the
other box where I reported the problems yesterday the situation is different:

   1. I start UL
   2. Adun intro screen and the symbol in the bottom left corner appear
   3. Both dissapear and the term shows:

       <time> UL[<pid>] AdunSQLDatabase bundle not available.
       <time> UL[<pid>] SQL backend support disabled
       Aborted
   4. The gdnc proces remains!

3. If you run the app as `UL --GNU-Debug=ULFileSystemDatabaseBackend
  --GNU-Debug=ULDatabaseIndex', do you see something suspicious?

Not really:

Does anyone else reproduce this?  I tried on a third machine
(different architecture, more so) and no luck.

So well, I would say you actually were lucky and I'm now at least on one machine. :)
I hope some users would have reported problems, because if you look at

   http://people.debian.org/~igloo/popcon-graphs/index.php?packages=adun.app&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=2007-10-01&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1

adun.app has increased the number of users by about a factor 4 in October
last year (I would like to find out the reason for this abrupt increase.
But this is definitely the old version.  So I would vote for risking an
upload of the new package to unstable and hope for more user input.  In
case the problem can be found on more than my single box we will get
RC bugs which leaves adun.app out of testing.

I assume GNUstep might also try its best to keep me away. ;-)))

GNUstep is not a desktop, so not really comparable with
GNOME/KDE/Xfce.  I imagine that it's very weird for users accustomed
to modern free environments.

Well, I was rather joking about GUIs that are actively tricking me. :)

BTW, I was able to solve the gnustep-make build problem by using

...
ifdef GS_MAKE_DIR
include /usr/share/GNUstep/debian/config.mk
endif
...

and your suggested change in the clean-patched target

Kind regards

       Andreas.
