Thanks for replying to my off-list mail publically.

It was taken out because it did not work reliably. This was explained in an
earlier email, but for reference, here's my pre-RC1 email about it:

  http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2002-June/msg00267.html

The original post went to the release team and Mark only. He agreed on that
list and removed it.

Whilst important, menu editing is a fairly peripheral feature for end users.
But if we're going to have it at all, it should at least be functional.

Very close to release. It's been a known issue for quite some time.
