[K12OSN] Customising Applications menu in K12LTSP 4.2.0

[Debbie Schiel]

Hi Brian,

This is a bit of a sore point when it comes to gnome menus - I haven't 
yet found an easy way to edit them, despite loads of howtoz... do a 
google search for 'k12osn editing gnome menus', and check out the wikki -
http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/Adding%20Menu%20Entries%20in%20FC2

The easiest way for me though was to ditch gnome and switch to iceWM - 
it loads faster (especially on thin clients) and the menu is dead easy 
to edit, even for a newbie like me... see post titled 'making menu icons 
bigger in IceWM'

Best regards,

Debbie
