well, I notice that gentoo now configures windowmaker without libungif 
explicitely. Among windowmaker and gnustep I am more concerned in 
gnustep :) After all, windowmaker is just there to handle the dock, the 
window ordering and non-gnustep applications :)

A quick note also is that it is "giflib" and "libungif.

ANother thing that I wondered is that it gets linked into every 
application. Thus if I recompile gnustep-core without gif support, 
Terminal.app or GWorkspace.app won't start up since they don't find 
libungif anymore.. I hoped this could be insulated into the gui/backend 
only!


cheers,
