try removing your ~/Gnustep directory. 
Next you can try to use a menu generator to help you find new apps
emerge genmenu then run it.
If nothing of this help you try to run a random app in a terminal then

You can try xfce4( CDE look and feel), fluxbox or another *box wm, ion

A good resource to wm is http://www.plig.org/xwinman/ and of course
