Thanks for the reply,
I did a clean install so there are no old setting conflicting anywhere.
There is something very screwy about the menu, I have yet to figure 
exactly where it is getting its configuration since the menu editor has 
almost no effect on it. Plus, I really don't like the seperators 
"|Actions|", "|All Applications|", etc. and I would like to get rid of 
them. There must be an XML file or something somewhere I can manually edit.

Anyway, at this point there are certain to be many more important issues 
than appearances but I really really don't like not being able to change 
the menu.

Thanks,
Joshua
