I read that the menu editing was improved in the upcoming GNOME 2.8. I
was hoping that this would make Red Hat (Fedora) turn it back on
again. It is frustrating that repeated calls for menu editing are
falling on deaf ears! If Mandrake wasn't a GNOME release behind, I
would consider switching.
Some time during the Gnome 2.8 cycle was spent on the menu system
backend itself, making it use a shared
freedesktop.org specification,
but as yet there is no menu editor. The reason the upstream vfolder
"menu editing" is disabled is that its very unstable and crashes a lot.
There will be some changes to the way the panel handles menus in Gnome
2.10, and hopefully we'll get a sane menu editor by then.
