What gentoo offers as stable does have such a reference

help menu on kview:

  We wanted to be creative, didn't we? KView provides some filter
  functions to manipulate images. They are (conveniently) placed in the
  Filter menu. Firstly, we will change the so-called “gamma
  factor”. This value affects mostly the mid-tones in the picture,
  leaving the brightest and darkest parts more or less untouched. Choose
  Filter->Intensity->Gamma correct from the menu bar. A dialog box
  appears. Change the value to 0.4 and hit the OK button. The picture is
  somewhat darker now:

Turns out there is something similar that does at least allow gamma
correction.  Apparently the installed handbook is out of date in
comparision to the software tool.

But that still leaves a few other menus that are missing.

Do you see anything that looks like it might be this reference:
 From header: 
  `Cluttering up your desk'

  The great moment has finally come: Choose Desktop->Desktop Tile and
                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
