How does it work? It is easy: for 1/, we make sure that dummy menu entries are added at the beginning of each menu containing the About/Preferences/Quit entries. They are then 'stolen' by Qt/Mac and go to the LyX menu/ I suspect that the current code does not work in all cases, but we'll see this later.
It doesn't compile, JMarc... pasting the error below (same as yours I believe)..
