Hi,
I'm not sure my initial email made it to the list (I just set up a new
"list only" email account).
I've read on the gnome-devel list that Redhat removed the ability to
edit applications:///
I'm wondering if this is true and if so what the reasoning behind this
is? And also how I can fix things so that I can edit menus.
thanks all,

For those others out there (few though they may be) who would like to be
able to edit applications:/// try these instructions at your own risk
(they're pulled verbatim from
http://people.ecsc.co.uk/~matt/repository.html and they worked fine for
me).
Menu-editing in RedHat 9
* To enable menu editing per user config (via nautilus), you need
to open a terminal and do the following:
su -
<give root password>
cd /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules
cp default-modules.conf default-modules.conf-no-menu-editing
cp default-modules.conf.with-menu-editing default-modules.conf
For any user you want to have the right to edit their menu, you
also need to do this as the user:
cd ~/.gnome2/vfolders
cp /etc/X11/desktop-menus/applications.menu
applications.vfolder-info
* When gnome-panel is restarted (via logout/login or kill) the
user will be able to see the changes they have made to their
menu.
Enjoy,
