I think that only the menu/menuitems are the model, but there are two views on the menu model: (1) the text-mode menu and (2) the graphical menu. The GUI component model is fairly limited at this point but there's no reason it couldn't be expanded to a wider variety of widgets that might support MVC (for instance a text area that uses a model separate from its view).
