Are you sure that any changes are needed in ./libs/global.ent? There
indeed are references to (declarations of?) xml-files in ./common/menus,
but I don't see a declaration for desktop-menu there, nor such xml-file
in ./common/menus. There were references to desktop-menu in the content
of some of those xml-files, which I changed, but I guess that doesn't
give a reason to change any of the menu declarations. 

I don't really even understand the purpose of declaring menus, because
some of the menus are not declared at all, like the Places menu,
although they are present in the Quick Guide. Well, it's propably just
me - this whole DocBook-thing is soooo complicated.

I have made these changes to my own copy of the Quick Guide now as well
as the changes to the quickguide.xml. I'm ready to make a patch as soon as the declaration issue is solved

OK :) To be sure: I may put changes to 1, 2 and 3 into one patch, but
should put nothing else there? And should I send possible future
patches to the list? I remember someone saying that it's not necessary
to send them to everyone on the list.

True :)
