To chime in here: I'd love to see Windows-/KDE-/Gnome-style menus as  
a third option along NeXT- and Mac-style menus. While menus at the  
top border of each window probably don't match the latest findings of  
ergonomics, really a lot of people are simply used to it.  
Additionally, such a feature is essential if one wants to integrate  
GNUstep applications using menus into one of these desktop environments.

So please, Germán André Arias Santiago, consider implementing window- 
hosted menus right into GNUstep's frameworks.
