Are nibs for Menus a problem under GNUstep?

Thanks for that detailed explanation, it makes many things clearer.

I think that would be a good thing since that tutorial application could 
serve as a starting point for new apps. So to say create an app which does 
nothing particular but serves as a framework to start with. Maybe just 
create a multi doc application using Project Builder and port that to 
GNUstep.
