Modifying Menus in Gnome un Ubuntu 5.0.4


Have just taken the plunge into Ubuntu after being a Mandy person for about 5 years. System really good, but am unable to modify the Gnome menus. Have followed the instruction in the Gnome help, ie entering "applications-all-user:///" in Nautilus but it returns not a valid destination. Tried the manual menthod suggested ie go to the folder:

/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users.vfolder-info

and add a folder etc, but the dir tree doesn't exist beyond gnome-vfs-2.0

Where is the vfs system located in the system so I can manually modify the menus?

Don't really know if this is what you need but if you need to add or remove stuff from the menus, try smeg.

Code:
 apt-cache search smeg
smeg - simple menu editor for GNOME
