I'm running fc3. Using gnome as the desktop, and I want to customize the applications menu and sub-menus. I've read the documentation, and it says I should be able to right click a menu, sub menu or item and select "remove" should I wish to delete the object, but this is always greyed out - even as root! Also if I right click an item in a sub menu and select "Entire menu", the option "Add new item to this menu" is also greyed out.
If I open nautilus and browse to "applications:///" then try to create a new item, delete and item or drag and drop a filename.desktop shortcut into either "applications" or one of the sub-menus, I get an error: Error copying to applications:///Accessories(or whatever sub-menu) The destination disk is read-only."
What is happening here? Why can root not do these things? Have I broken something? Where the heck is the "applications:///" file-system anyway?
Any ideas?
