I just checked the Apple documentation. It says:
For Mac OS X v10.3 and later: If you use a class that responds to the
selectorattributedStringValue for the object value of a cell, the cell
uses that method to fetch the string to draw rather than the
stringValue method.
This is not what the code Fred posted does. It calls -
attributedStringValue, but then sets the contents to the return from -
description.
Checking the documentation for -setObjectValue: there is nothing to
indicate that -description is ever called; it requires an NSFormatter
to be provided to convert from the object value to the display string,
although this may be undocumented behavior.

fine for me, but at least we should not break working GNUstep code
for this."
Since it is documented on their site I would not classify this as a
bug. It is a bug on our side if we don't have it, in my opinion.
