hmm, I don't know anything about WindowMaker, but some comments on the
GNUstep layout. The layout is described in /usr/doc/gstep-make/DESIGN.gz.
(gstep-make package). You may install gstep-xraw-examples to have a
look at the layout of the Workspace.app application.
If something has to be changed in the directory layout it should be
done in gstep-make and the applications should be converted to use the
gstep-make package.
