As far as I know, we do not ship a GNOME version of LyX. Therefore, it
would be more interesting to know what is said in OSX, Win32 and KDE
UI guides. I do not remember the specifics, but it seems to me that we
are not too far.
This it was the KDE UI guideline says:
"Notice that every item in a menu that /first opens a dialog requiring additional information/ must be labelled with a *trailing ellipsis (...)* (e.g. Save As..., Open...). There's no space between the menu item and the "...". A simple confirmation dialog is not considered a dialog that requires additional information."
Jean-Marc, are you happy with this definition? According to the definition we would have, among others, "Preferences..." but "Revert changes", "Table Of Contents", and "About LyX". If you are happy with the KDE guidelines, I will make a note at the beginning of the ui files and provide another patch by tomorrow evening.
