I agree to this point very much. All the details of interface will evolve along with development of Etoile. If we don't have anything useful, all the discussion of these details is not very useful. So my attitude is always "implmenetation first, details later". And I don't really like to give users too many preferences to choose, like a separator between menus, etc. I think GNUstep has too many options to set in compilation and runtime, which is mostly unused or unknown. And it also creates a headache for developers who need to test all the options. But this is one of the details which I prefer not to discuss at this stage. :) Have a nice weekend.
