Thanks Colin, I've had a play with it, it looks good as a menu editor,
easy to use interface. Lot's of nice controls. (I like being able to
edit the Quick lists)

But I was more asking about general right-clicking in a folder (or
Desktop) and having something like "Create a new Launcher" (Or
'Shortcut', as that is what Windows Users will be familiar with), that
then creates a new Launcher (say with gnome-desktop-item-edit) that can
be edited later.

I think this is something that would have to been included into Nautilus
though.

Still, I'm going to remember menulibre, it's a cool little program, that
will definitely make my life easier in the future
