I don't think there need to be, as all are presenting documents.  remember in
the future these could also include pictures, sound or watever sword adds to the
module base.

I will admit that calling a bookmark a document is a bit of a stretch,  but a
group is as assembly of documents (in the O'Reily book on docbook this is called
a document set).  The only modules available now are text documents.  In the
future other things may be added - here there seems to be some confusion as to
what to call a mixed media document, so I think we can do what seems most
inntuitive for the user.

If you use the term "Group Manager", in the english version it should be
formated as two words with both capitalized.

I think you are referring to the "Search Result".  I think it is clear as is,
and does not need any more detail.  The only thing I would change here is that
"Found entries:" should be changed to "Entries found"

Some more detail is needed in the manual, but not here.

Martin's instructions on printing work.  Thanks.

Feature request.
Make a preference for printing to specific paper size for example A4 or Letter.
This is not a problem for anyone but me (i think that the US and Canada are the
only places still using 8.5 inch by 11 inch paper) so it need not hold up 1.0
It might even be a KDE thing that we would want KDE to fix.
