The gnome menu system is built with gnome-vfs, and generated from the
*.desktop files in /usr/share/applications.  To edit it log in as root, or
run nautilus as root.  

go the url
applications-all-users:///

This will give you a nautilus view of the applications menu.  You can rearrange
it by drag-n-drop.  I haven't checked gnome 2.4 (what's in k12ltsp 4) but it
works for gnome 2.6.  Gnome 2.6 has a number of new "lock down" features that
are extremely useful in a lab environment.  Now if gconf would only get group
level control it would be gold.

hth,
-Brian
