Horizontal menus are inefficient on large screens and totaly impractical 
on multihead or xinerama type installations. I have seen this discussion 
played out many times here before. I personally would feel much happier 
if this desire and effort were put towards making what we already have 
stable and usable for people to develop applications on top of before 
people start changing things so that it starts to look and behave like 
their OSX machine. If you want OSX then use OSX, as far as I know the 
way GNUstep looks and feels was never inteded to emulate OSX and all its 
mistakes.
