Because of the way that GnuStep draws it's controls, there isn't a
way to make it dynamically adapt to the look of the current desktop
environment (unless I missed something obvious). The complaint that I
got was that the menu structures in the GnuStep app didn't 'fit' in
the Gnome or KDE desktops that are the default installations in 99%
of the Linux installations these days. Personally, I was hoping
that the old SimplyGnustep(prometheus) or Backbone project would get
to a point where you could install a fully GnuStep arranged OS, ala
Mac OS X, where the Gnome and KDE Apps are the ones that are 'out of
place'.
In ther interim, people that ask, I point them to the LiveCD and
advise the use that to get started, and if needed I then spend the
time with them to get a Debian or Ubuntu based install up and
running. So far, only one has gone that far.

its the same for any application. apps are always developed with a
particular look and feel. unless they are build to look native
wherever they run.
yes setup should ideally be just a single copy. from installation of
the entire system to application updates. although im very biased
towards a document centric paradigm where this issue is simply
nonexistent.
