fwiw menu separators are something else entirely different,
they are currently implemented as menu items in GNUstep and look
pretty ugly imho, nobody afaik currently uses them except when they
convert or use a mac os x menu within a nib file.

you get something like

|menu item 1|
|------------------|
|menu item 2|

lets not confuse menu item borders from menu separators.
hard to say without looking at it but menu separators would almost
undoubtedly look better with Germán's style of menus without the menu
item border,

maybe the same mechanism used to control the border drawing of menu
items could be extended to in the case of a menu separator stroke the
bottom of 'menu item 1' or top of 'menu item 2',  not sure if that
would take menu separators from 'too much empty space' to not enough
though.  suppose someone would have to try it out and see.

though, i see there has been some discussion of menu separators since
last i looked at them, maybe this is taken care of.
