I've made some menu options - the best way seems to put in a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications, and then editing that via alacarte, but you may have to restart compiz during the process.

The files can be made in gedit, but if you want to edit them later you have to open them through gedit as nautilus will try to run the command.

The file should be in a format like this:

[Desktop Entry]

Comment=Restart Compiz

Terminal=false

Name=Restart Compiz

Exec=compiz --replace

Type=Application

Icon=preferences-system

See https://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html.en for a full guide and http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html for a list of categories that should be supported by all desktop environments conforming to the freedesktop spec.
