I think this problem is related to (or the same as) the one I  
reported in bug #26438. The problem essentially seems to be that  
WindowMaker lets a GNUstep application manage the appicon only if it  
is the first window created. If the appicon is not the first window,  
WindowMaker takes over responsibility for the appicon itself. This  
problem can be reproduced (at least) when you start the first GNUstep  
application in a fresh X session and also when you set the user  
default GSIgnoreRootOffsets to YES, because in both cases -back  
attempts to determine the size of the window decorations before  
creating the appicon.
