Correct.  Easiest way (assuming you are not using CVS already) is to
apply the patch set to do the upgrade, then update the horde/config/*.php
files from the horde/config/*.php.dist files.

I don't *think* anything else is needed for a Horde upgrade for existing
(released) modules.

What reorganization is that?

The basics are covered at http://www.horde.org/source/using.php
and at http://www.horde.org/faq/admin/install/index.php#i7

Please let me know what isn't clear, or what needs to be improved.

See the above links.  Send comments/additions/etc to me and/or the list.
