Hello,
I am relieved because I finally was able to identify the cause.
My method was to remove elements and to use without each several time.
And the guilty is... well - seems to be - GWorkspace **background**.
Since I stopped to display the background of GWorkspace, I never
experimented the issue again.
So I used Heritage theme and the default background of wmaker for
several weeks, doing all the operations which previously caused the
issue, like dragging, changing key window, clicking every where to
change focus... and now, incredible stability. No way to trouble my
GNUstep system.
Because Agnostep Desktop theme was using GWorkspace background in each
flavour, I decided to not publish the announced stable 1.0.0 release
of my project, because it could be deceptive. So I am working on a new
perspective:
- Creating my desired desktop with apps and tools, following my
learning of GNUstep, and using a well known theme as Heritage.
- Using and targetting only one flavour: NexT like. Conky flavour will
be deprecated and unmaintained. With Gershwin Desktop, people has now
a better alternative if they want a Macstyle.
- When all will be available and stable, I will add again the theming
work as an aesthetic alternative.

Hello,
As Gworkspace again often terminates itself, and as it is the main
process in
xinit, it causes the Window Manager to reload itself and so on...
- I have serious doubts about the way I manage this in '.xsession': I
joined
the one I use now. It is generated by agnostep installer.
<my_dot_xsession.txt>
- I also believed firstly it was related to non native GNUstep X
applications
wrappers, but I experimented that it was also related to GNUstep
apps:
GNUMail, HelpViewer...
- So I extracted a few recent examples from my '.xsession-errors':

Help would be appreciated.
Best regards,
