How do I edit the Gnome Menu?

I'm running FC2 with Gnome.
I've installed some RPMs that have put some icons in strange places in the gnome menu. I would like to be able to edit the menu but I can't see any feature to let me do this.

Thanks

This worked with partially RH9, I don't know with Fedora.

As root:

Code:

cd/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules
mv default-modules.conf default-modules.conf.no-menu-edit
cp default-modules.conf-with-menu-edit default-modules.conf

Now you can edit the menu by going to applications:/// in Nautilus.

They disable this by default for some reason. I found that I had to restart gnome for the changes to take effect, and that gnome sometimes crashed with no apparent reason, so maybe thats why the disabled it...

I hope this helps

Oops.
That got rid of all icons except for a few down the bottom such as "Run Applications" and "Log Out".
Luckily I didn't skip the backup step

I wonder why they've made it so hard to edit the menu. Souldn't it be a fairly straightforward process?

Thanks anyway.
