doing it, it would be perfect, if not, I don't see how we could do it w/o
splitting the code base.

its own global menu. This is not the NEXTSTEP way to do things, instead
every app should have exactly one menu and only the active app's menu
should be visible. I don't know how this can be handled in WM. Of course
non-GS apps should then get a 'default global ' menu or sth like that,
perhaps served by the window manager or GWorkspace itself?
