setup.sh works well if you can use sudo. It won't work well if you  
aren't allowed to use sudo or if you want to set up the environment  
for several users in a single pass.
In your case, you probably ran ./setup.sh with root permission. You  
should try to run it as the normal user that will use Étoilé and type  
'1' when setup.sh requests you to choose a deployement style.

Basically you need to do everything done in setup.sh (not only  
setting the defaults) to get a usable environment, so I would  
strongly advise to use setup.sh. The only point you can avoid is to  
copy GNUstep tools in /usr/local/bin. The key steps are:
- settings defaults
- generating and installing 'etoile' startup script
- installing etoile.desktop
- installing SystemTaskList.plist
- downloading and installing fonts

I know setup.sh needs a lot of improvement. It's also on my roadmap  
to defer many things done currently in setup.sh to the environment  
launch time, it would make the installation less prone to failures.

Cheers,
Quentin.
