Well, then the application would have to set up the menu for each

NeXT tradition. Try right-clicking a file in GWorkspace for instance.
The application menu is shown where no context menu is set.
I've not tried this on GNUstep, but on OS X the menu is displayed
automatically on right click if the view's menu attribute is defined
(either in IB or be calling -setMenu: ) or the view responds to
+defaultMenu.
You can make any view that doesn't define it's own custom context menu
display the main menu as its context menu by adding this category:
@implementation NSView (ContextMainMenu)
+ (NSMenu*) defaultMenu
{
return [NSApp mainMenu];
}
@end
This looks slightly weird on OS X because the app name in the menu is
filled in automatically in the menu bar, but not as a context menu.
I was under the impression that this is the default behavior in
GNUstep, but maybe I'm wrong. I'll need to fire up the NeXTStation to
check[1], but I think it worked like this on NeXTSTEP 3.3.

NeXTstation out of the history of computing collection's archive for
the Étoilé hackathon.
