 Currently, setup.sh install some tools and libraries into
/usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin
 in order to start etoile_system without source the GNUstep.sh.
 Wouldn't it be easier to have a script called start_etoile.sh:

 #!/bin/sh
 source /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
 etoile_system

 We can have this script installed in /usr/local/bin
 and have etoile.desktop execute this script.
 In this case, we don't need setup.sh and setupdown.sh anymore.
 I did something like that to start Azalea through gnome-session some time ago.

 The other issue I have is the possibility to start etoile_system
without menu server.
 Frankly, I haven't try it yet, but I tend not to use menu server on
my small 12-inch
 screen for now.
 In another word, does etoile_system is as flexible as a script for
startup Etoile system ?
 If not, maybe a script to start everything is a better solution.
 But it is not that important for now, I would say.

 Have fun.

I notice there are several methods relating to
communiting with other GNUstep application.
While Azalea manage all applications (including GNUstep)
as regular x window applications,
AZDock does handle X window application through X window system
and GNUstep application through GNUstep.
In other word, it overlaps between X window system and GNUstep (NSWorkspace).

I think we can gather these common methods together to reduce the redundancy.
Currently, AZDock can tell GNUstep application to hide and terminate.
It would be nice to know when a GNUstep application start and finish starting.
It is done with startup notification in Gnome (maybe KDE)
(http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fstartup_2dnotification).
That's pretty much I can think about now. :)
