No, I mean that uses newest -base with old -gui is not tested ant not 
supported upstream. It should work but with untested stuff, you should 
expect troubles.

On i386, it build fine. It's probably an amd64 only bug, thus it's not 
an RC bug.
And it's not sure this is really a -base/gui/back version problem, this 
is just the first thing I thought.

There is also a new upstream version of gworkspace.

Difficult, because upstream is unpredictable.
But usually, we don't upload new apps when core packages are not ready.
(gworkspace was uploaded before gnustep-base, it should have been built 
with -base 1.10.1 and not 1.10.2)
