    I have been searching for a tool to modify the Main Menu, or other menus in
    Gnome2. There is none that I can find. Editing the files by hand is tedious
    at best.

    Editing the menus thru the Preferences just doesnt work right

    Adding them as drawers, I have had the same problems as you.

    Someone has to have a better way

    Subject: Fedora and gnome panel

    I recently upgraded from RedHat 9 to Fedora.

    In RedHat 9 I had created drawers on the panel and dropped apps in the
    drawers. Worked well for me.

    When I installed Fedora all the drawers were there and there was an icon
    in the drawer for each app but each of these was another drawer now.

    I went through and deleated all the drawers and started over. and added
    all the drawers to the panel and placed then placed my apps in the
    draweres. They seems to work great. Later I logged out, when I logged
    back in all the apps changed back to drawers again.

    Frustrated, I thought there must be something that wasn't compatable
    between the config files of the old and new. I deleted all directories
    starting with .gnome and all others that I thought was related to gnome
    config. When I logged in the desktop changed from the Redhat desktop
    that I had been using to a different background and had all the default
    icons on the panel.
    Now I have a clean start. I put one drawer on the panel. Added a
    couple of apps to the drawer. They work fine. Logout then login and
    the icons are now drawers.

    The other problem I have is that I have always had focus change to the
    window the cursor is on and it would raise if I clicked in the window.
    I am still able to change focus when the cursor is placed in a window
    but it seams that I have to click on the title bar to raise the window.
    Is there a way to get my old behaivor.
