If you are using Ubuntu (Gnome), you might consider using drawer applets 
on the toolbar instead of adding things to your main menu.  The whole 
purpose of drawers is to be able to make specialized menus and group 
things together.   You can put customized commands in there just as with 
an icon on the tool bar.

On a search for alacarte, there were 2268 pages worth of results.  You 
may find something there as you fine tune your search?
