hmm, I don't know anything about WindowMaker, but some comments on the GNUstep layout. The layout is described in /usr/doc/gstep-make/DESIGN.gz. (gstep-make package). You may install gstep-xraw-examples to have a look at the layout of the Workspace.app application. If something has to be changed in the directory layout it should be done in gstep-make and the applications should be converted to use the gstep-make package.
