that should be fine and safe, almost overkill. make_services updates 
document types, app lists and services entries, so it is useful to be 
run anytime you install a new application (or update it so that it 
recognizes new types). If you just replace something or install a 
framework it is not needed, but it does no harm at all.

I have never seen such errors in 20 years :-o I think they are harmless, 
but maybe Richard knows more.

that is fine. GNUstep.sh prepares environment variables for any GNUstep 
application or tool.
I did not put it in my bash profile just not to "pollute" because in 
past it caused issues with other apps or environments using the same 
variables, but that was a long time ago and should be no issue anymore.
