I agree. GNUstep on windows will look like GNUstep on linux right?

GNUstep must be cross-platform. But do we want it to look like native 
apps
such that you dont know it is GNUstep?

We can program in objective-c on windows without respecting openstep
at all. GNUstep is an openstep implementation right? Its a particular 
way of
using objective-c.

Im sorry for the assumptions but my impression from the email that 
started this thread
is that GNUstep must look like windows on windows. The Mozilla suite 
works that way.
I thought that GNUstep should look the same on all platforms. We dont 
want it to look
like QNX on QNX do we?
