Many players have already been no1 without winning a Grand Slam tournament. The ATP/WTA points ranking system is pretty good and definitely well planned. I still think that a Grand Slam tournament-win should count for more in the rankings.
A suggestion: the most important thing in the rankings system would be the amount of Grand Slam tournament wins/ year. The ATP/WTA points would determine the rest of the rankings order.
For example:
1 GS-tournament win: a guaranteed ranking in top 4.
Two players with 2 GS-tournament wins: the ATP/WTA points would determine the no1 ranking.
No GS-tournament wins: not possible to get the no1 ranking.
Thoughts ?
