AFAIK, the GNUStep folks haven't tried yet to implement the
window-morphing that we do for the sheets.
As Ondra said... Even so, when (if?) GNUstep ports the sheets
API, who says they have to make them squoosh out in such a
silly way? I mean, I'd be perfectly happy if Apple spent more
time fixing bugs than implementing all their window squooshing
effects.
The window morphing effect was *done* by the time that Steve
first demonstrated it. We don't have a bunch of people
re-implementing it every month.
