|Hi!
|I had the same problem, and I got the solution from Michael Knepher. |Here it is:
|--------------------------------- |Nautilus is the intended tool for editing menus in gnome, but it's |turned off by default. To enable menu editing with nautilus, go to |/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules and replace default-modules.conf with |default-modules.conf.with-menu-editing.
|Then, as a normal user, go to start-here:/// in nautilus, and start |moving/adding program launchers. You can also edit the menu from the |menu: right-click on a menu item and choose from the various options |found there.
|I'm not sure what bugs remain to be ironed out for it be turned on by |default, but it seems to work well enough on my system.
|--------------------------------
|It is also worth mentioning, that I lost the start-here:///, |so I have to add and remove items in the menu.
|Here is also link about this, which I got from Paul Vandenberg:

|Hi,
|See this page, near the bottom, for an explanation of how to turn on |menu editing in GNOME. The volders such as start-here:/// don't work |with menu editing turned on. I guess that's why Red Hat turned it off |by default. I use the menu for everything, so it doesn't bother me. To |do actual changes, you right click on the menu item to be changed.

Davor,
Thanks for the reply. I tried it and unfortunately now have no Applications menus.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to restore the Applications menus (even to defaults, though I would like to be able to modify them)?
Thanks,
