Thanks for your work.
I have tried using the Menu from Qt.labs.platform 1.0 . The problem is that on 
my setup, no icons are present in the menu.

I have one small modification ready for the branch. I would like to ask for 
the desktop style from KDE frameworks. After that we could probably merge this 
branch in master. It seems to work fine.

It is because Dialog in Qt Quick Controls v2 are not real dialog but popup 
inside the main window of Elisa. I am trying to fix that but I have still a 
sizing problem. In the meantime, we can still use the one from v1. The dialogs 
from the platform qml module seems not enough flexible to allwo that. Maybe we 
should just use a Window qml component.
