Re: correct same-gnome.diff

[Patrick Costello <Patrick Costello Sun COM>]

If a menu name is on the menubar of an application, then I would recommend 
using the <guimenu> tag. Thus: <guimenu>Game</guimenu>. I would then use 
the <guimenuitem> tag for the contents of the menu. You should also be 
aware of the <menuchoice> tag in these circumstances. For example:

"To start a new game, choose: 
<menuchoice><guimenu>Game</guimenu><guimenuitem>New game</guimenuitem>."

Apologies if I am teaching anyone how to suck eggs.
