this one was weird. I re-compiled the documentation and the link 
appeared. But there is still a red x in the entry "Changes" that I 
couldn't get rid off. any idea ?

This is fine. The only entries that were present before where related to 
QTk, but now these are placed in "High-level Window Programming with QTk"

indeed. This is the QTk stuff, and now I added all the correspondent 
sub-entries.

fixed.
