Alexander Malmberg wrote a bundle for Preferences.app that will do 
what you require, I think. If you are interested I can supply you with 
a tarball that works with current GNUstep cvs? It also contains a 
small additon of my own which allows you to have the default 
application menus hidden (moved to a position out of view). I wrote 
the addition because the menus are pretty much unusable if your window 
manager only supports sloppy focus as mine does, so they were just 
getting in the way. I much prefer using the right mouse button to 
access the menu anyway :)
