But then I read many people on the mailing list that want a Window
Manger written in Objective-C and GNUstep, it's a bit frustrating...
but I'm not here to do flame or similar things, maybe they don't like
my project.

Are you referring to Interface project? To be honest I don't remember
hearing about this project, or maybe I don't put enough attention :( I
"discovered" it when someone mentions the project some days ago. And as
far as I can see, this has not been added to "Software Index". Would be
nice have it listed there :)

No, I discovered InterfaceWM some days ago when someone mentioned it on the mailing list too.

However I downloaded it, made some modifications, and now it can run again, but it doesn’t work as expected. I consider InterfaceWM a good reference for ICCCM and EWMH implementation, it seems almost full complete. I want to underline “it seems”. Also, InterfaceWM is another WM NeXT-like, not so different from wmaker, so I don’t want it.

Instead some months ago, I started to write a new WM and it is quite in early stage. It can move windows around the screen, just that. I need to optimize it for GNUstep windows because, while with gtk and qt apps, the windows are fully drawn with my WM in terms of offset, GS windows appear dislocated on the right in terms of offset, showing half of the window. This problem does not exist with WM like Metacity, wmaker, Mutter and Compiz, that are the WMs I tried with GS.
