exactly, they should stop using hacks and just implement an actual obj-c window manager/desktop. GWorkspace is mostly there. personally I'd like to see an entire distro built around the mac filesystem layout but I know a lot of people will disagree with me about that. But at least focusing on a DE based on gnustep would be a huge step forward IMHO. It has mail/music/irc. Cleanup mplayer's gui for gnustep, finish webkit and a jabber client, and you'd be well on the way to a fully useful desktop environment. The best thing about gnustep is apps written for it using obj-c don't just look like apple apps. They actually work like apple apps. With correct handling of linked services, proper UI layout etc.

Windowmaker is a poor man's NeXTStep UI Paradigm. It's a hack.
