I don't think so. I think the problem is that there isn't enough
presence of GNUstep on internet. I mean youtube, blogs, images ... If
you search images of GNUstep. most of them show gnustep using the
default theme. So we need upload more images showing GNUstep on Gnome,
KDE, Windows.... We need more videos on youtube about how use GNUstep on
other desktops and OSs. The vertical menu is not the problem, the
problem is when people think that GNUstep don't offers more options.
