Maybe the "right-click & context-menu" is not the best approach, but I
think it could be a natural solution. For example:

- Removing a menu item: Right-click over the item, and select "Remove
from menu".

- Adding a menu item in a sub-menu: Right-click over the submenu, and
select "Add a new item".

- Adding a menu item/submenu in the main menu: Right-click over the
"Applications" word and select "Add a new item/submenu".

- Arbitrary sort of menu items: could be done simply
dragging-and-dropping the menu items across the menu, for example. (I
don't know if GTK+ supports drag&drop of menu items...)

How many bugs? Are those bugs difficult to fix? I think this is a very
interesting thing, because some people likes GNOME 2.8 over GNOME 2.10
due to the lack of menu changing facilities (until smeg arrived, of
course).

Thanks a lot,

Ricardo.
