I personally think it is easier to have a window manager which can work well on both GNUstep and GNOME/KDE, or specifically, EWMH. Overall, it is hard to map GNUStep window hints into EWMH. For example, GNUstep requires arbitrary window level while EWMH doesn't. GNUstep may work under EWMH, but it will not work perfectly. I believe the reason people ask for GNUstep to work with GNOME/KDE is that WindowMaker does not work well for GNOME/KDE. If there is a window manager which can work on both GNUstep and GNOME/KDE, this problem can be solved.
