The gnome.c file implemented the protocol used for early versions of
GNOME. This protocol is deprecated, for it is already covered by the
more general EWMH standard (aka _NET properties) from freedesktop.org
(aka XDG).
In particular:
• Properties in gnome_setup() got deprecated by the _NET_SUPPORT{ED,ING_WM_CHECK}
properties; already implemented in amiwm.
• Properties in gnome_managed_clients() got deprecated by the _NET_CLIENT_LIST
property; not implemented in amiwm yet.
• Properties in gnome_multiple_desktops() got deprecated by the _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP
and _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS properties; not implemented in amiwm yet.
Further EWMH support are be implemented in upcoming commits.
Also, this file was not even compiled and linked into amiwm anyway...
