Have you had a chance to look at GNUstep http://gnustep.org ?  I
wonder if GNUstep is a reasonable approximation of the classic
NeXTStep interface or just yet another half-done open-source project
that will never get finished.

I think something like GNUstep or Haiku ( Open-source BeOS clone
http://haiku-os.org ) would make a great open-source desktop if ever
finished.
