It seems better than xgps. I had no such problem with libart and gnustep. Add WITH_GNUSTEP_LIBART=yes and WITH_GNUSTEP_DEVEL=yes in /etc/make.conf and rebuild. When its done setup your enviorment and run the command "defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackend libgnustep-art". You might want to run "defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSFontAntiAlias YES". Run these as the user who runs gnustep apps, ie not root.
