There probably is no one "correct way". The way you described sounds very
reasonable to me. And more importantly, it seems like something logical to
check if you needed to change it back at some point.

That all sounds good to me too...

Each of those files serve a different function and they are all used by AppFuse
out of the box, but they may not all be necessary depending on the needs of
application you are developing.
menu-config.xml - the config file for Struts Menu
menu.jsp - the file that sitemesh uses to insert the menu into most pages
mainMenu.jsp - this is more of a "home page" than a "menu"... it is the
default page users see after logging on if no specific page is requested.

I don't have an app open in front of me, but I believe the "csstheme" is set in
web.xml.
