I had trouble with terminator (my preferred terminal emulator) and also
with conky, which I use insted of a dock or system tray.
Bear in mind, I switched nearly two years ago so it might be better now.
ISTR there was an annoying problem with fullscreen video, too, but I
don't remember what exactly. Probably xine-ui, which I finally dumped for
vlc.
Probably should have mentioned, I haven't used gnome since like 2004.
Also I'm not much of a mouse lover, my config is completely keyboard
driven.
I loved wmaker for a long time, but fvwm has spoiled me now. :)

I think most everything is pretty compatible with gnustep -- I have to
exclude kde4.x from that though, as I've only had a few hours being
tortured by it a few times and that was quite enough! :)
If you stick with wmaker, the wmakerconf package is much more powerful
than the default config tools in wmaker.
