While on this topic, sort of, does anybody know how to change the
permissions on the gnome menu edit? I want to allow users to add programs
to the menu.

I finally saw the light and used File Manager SU Mode, with that I was
able change the link name to what I wanted. I think user documentation
should be shared a little more friendlier than the way the install set
it up. Is it because users can't be trusted to set up their own
customized desktop links to files which they don't own, but do have
permission to read? I think I'm going to find a solution when I learn a
little bit more about groups. But hey this is fun, I love tinkering
around with this new OS.
