Importing the sf2 in the 'manage midi devices' dialog has a mostly decorative function. Ie, it only effects the the labels that RG assigns to tracks.
If you are fairly new to this sort of stuff what i bet you want to do is to load the font into a synth to make some sounds. This is done in qsynth itself and the process is fairly self explanatory. Once the sf2 is loaded in the synth, there is no urgent need to import it into RG unless you find it overly confusing to have RG calling your presets by the wrong name.
