Hi,

This email addresses several issues raised so far:

This could be fixed easily by hijacking some code from GSWindowMakerMenuStyle.

Well, after talking with Stefan I think I'll go back to moving everything
without a submenu to the "app" menu. This solves the problem with localized
labels not getting moved to the app menu. 

We also discussed adding an -applicationMenu method to NSApplication that would
allow you to modify the application menu to your liking. An "Apple" menu is
beyond the scope of this simple bundle, no? I mean most items in the Apple menu
deal with the overall Workspace as opposed to the app in question. Something to
think about though, no doubt.

BTW, until I figure out how to "play" nicely with Gorm this will not be
generally useful.

Cheers,

Michael
