GemBuilder deposits automatically generated GemStone server classes in the
GemStone symbol dictionary UserClasses, which it creates if necessary.
Automatically generated client Smalltalk classes are deposited in the
current
package.
With respect to the "ignore VisualWorks namespaces" part of your question,
I think the best way to answer it is "pretty much".

As noted in the documentation, this automatic class generation is intended
as a developer convenience. It is still best to deploy code to each
environment in advance of running the application and to predefine the
class connectors that could have a conflict or otherwise be unreachable by
name lookup.
