?? I'm not sure what you mean here.
Well, malfunctions in GNUstep are often answered by a few text
commands which fix things. For example, Wolfgang Lux explained just
yesterday how to fix services in Terminal.app.
While Terminal.app is a special case in this regard, you can't expect
users to fix things by typing commands in a shell. Things are either
figured by the app without user interaction (preferred), or need a GUI.

Markus, why do you think that users of Xfce/KDE/GNOME should bother
on GNUstep applications at all?
Because quite a few nice applications are written in GNUstep. Think
about GNUmail, it has just the right design for users used to Apple
Mail.
Think about TextEdit, which roughly matches Apple's TextEdit and can
(well, should be able to) handle the RTF format.
Think about all those Cocoa apps out there just waiting to be ported
to Linux or *BSD. There are plenty.
If you want GNUstep apps to fit into Xfce/KDE/GNOME then you need
to change not only look (scrollbars, menu style, etc.) but also
FEEL of applications.
For now I think it would be a big step forward if GNUstep wouldn't
conflict with other desktops. If the dock-like miniwindows can be
turned off, please do so by default in a Gnome or KDE environment.
For the window containing the menu, respect the bars on top and on
bottom of the screen. If the current desktop has scroll bars on the
right, put them there in GNUstep apps as well.
Does GNUstep applications should look & feel as Qt and GTK+ apps?
There's no need to give up on the traditional behaviour for those
prefering it.
Using GNUstep applications in, for example, GNOME is stupid.
Ouch.
Markus
