Apple’s documentation. According to this, the first item of a pull down is the 
title and not displayed when showing the menu. This is what GNUstep has 
implemented up to now.

As I unterstand it you want to display the title as the first item in the menu, 
but as a disabled one. This will look different than it did before. Having this 
as a theme or with a user setable option would be fine for me. But changing the 
default here is something that needs to be discussed more widely.

No, I personally don’t have much of a position on this point. Why do you want 
to change the behaviour?
