Dr. Sacco:
A caveat: I am not anywhere near a Linux machine right now, so I cannot test this.

The Gnome-2.6 menus appear to be locked and cannot be edited using nautilus.
By "menus," do you mean the applications menu in the lower left (often) of the kicker panel? I thought that there was a dedicated utility to edit these menus, not Nautilus. Try right-clicking or middle-clicking -- as a regular user -- in various places around and near the kicker panel. I seem to recall that this would invoke the menu editor (whose name cannot be found easily using Google). I *do* remember that the place to click to bring up editor was not immediately obvious to me, so be creative.
For example, any attempt by "root" to add a folder to the Applications menu causes nautilus to crash.
I also recall that editing the Gnome application menu in Red Hat Fedora Core 2 inevitably caused a crash of the editor app while it was loading. By watching the loading sequence carefully, I noticed that it always crashed at a certain point when the application icons were loading, so trashing those icon files fixed the problem. Possibly YDL 4.0 inherited that bug.
I hope this points you in the right direction.
Best wishes, Clint
