Hello,
The horizontal menu for me works at all, I use it for each Etoile/GNUstep apps, 
installed it a lot of time ago (1 year? yes probably)

 I have the most recent Etoile code on my development distro (debian) with 
clang 3.2, indeed recently, I tried some exemple apps like 
ObjectManagerExemple, the horizantal menu just worked fine.

Cheers,
Alex
