As far as I know, it was Red Hat that disabled it, not GNOME. In fact,
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.
