I feel unsure about mac-style menus. Classic Mac OS was similar to
OS X and NeXTstep in that applications normally did not quit when
their last window is closed. You could also hide and unhide
applications as on OS X. For that reason I would think the right
default for mac-style menus would me NO.
On the other hand, Classic Mac OS also had an application switcher,
a menu at the right end of the menubar that allowed you to switch to
any running application (whether hidden or not). Yet, I expect that
it is unlikely that anybody would (want to) implement such an
application switcher for Mac style menus, so returning YES makes
sense to me too.
Could have a dock ... And actually, if good specs get written for
handling drawing on app icons in a cross-environment manner, it'd be a
prime opportunity for Gnustep to shine. Write a good dock and let the
gnome folks get all excited about using it.
