1 Go to /etc/xdg/menus
There you will find the skeleton for the menu specification.... It is a series of files defining menus, application classes that should be listed in the menu list and their hierarchy. Look at it a bit and it should make some sense....
2. Go to /usr/share/desktop-directories....
There you will find the actual labeling for the menus (What you see on the screen). This is where you put internationalization and the icon you want associated with the menu/submenu/etc....
3. Go to /usr/share/applications
There you will find the application definitions - these control how the application executes, the mimetypes it supports, the icon used, the application class, etc, etc.....
As it was said earlier, it isnt pretty (at first), but if you work with it a little bit, it isnt bad and is actually logical....
A nice front end to this would be nice, but I think it hasnt been done yet for probably the same reason as no one has bothered to answer my post about how to redefine gnome-vfs datatypes - no time :(
hope it helps....
