No, it doesn't.

I think Texinfo lacks some crucial means required to document GUI
programs.  There are no directives to describe a sequence of menu
selections, no way to typeset dialog boxes and other simple widgets,
etc.  IMHO, this all should be figured out and added to the language
before we could start doing serious work documenting the GUI stuff.
