I realize I made two errors in describing this, so I'm correcting them now.
First, I forgot to mention that GNUstep submenus always open up with their
titles at the same vertical location as the parent menu's title, UNLESS you
have enabled the WindowMaker menu style (defaults write NSGlobalDomain
NSInterfaceStyleDefault 'GSWindowMakerInterfaceStyle'), as I have.

Second, I was mistaken in saying that "the title cell of the context menu is
positioned just to the right of its corresponding entry in the app menu."
What I actually meant was "the first entry (not counting the title) of the
context menu is positioned just to the right of its corresponding entry in
the app menu." This of course assumes the use of GSWindowMakerInterfaceStyle;
if the regular NeXTSTEP-like menu style were used, the submenu title would
should up just to the right of the parent menu title.

I hope this clears up any misunderstanding.
