That should work, it's always worked for me. Could be hosed by selinux
or something perhaps.

In FC2 the menus will use the documented freedesktop.org specification
which is reasonable to edit with a text editor if you're an admin
setting up a default user session.

For the users themselves, longer term one line of thought is to just
have a way to enable/disable menu items, and perhaps Favorites, I guess.
But maybe Dan will get the nautilus editing to work, or GNOME upstream
will do something else.
