I'm using SJDS2/Gnome 1.4 and have succeeded to add pull-up Menus 
(launchers) to the panel. E.g adding the menu "Games" from the Launch 
menu to the panel can be an exercize in itself, using the following, 
somewhat tricky procedure:
Launch->Applications->Games->Right_click_on_a_menu_item->The whole 
menu->Add as menu on the Panel
The trick here is that the normal thinking to right-click on the the 
menu "Games" itself doesn't work (like adding a launcher for a single 
application to the panel).
Well, what is remarkable is: After adding menus to the Panel, their all 
popup display names become "Main Menu"; that is not the original name 
like "Games" on the Launch menu. Trying to edit this name, again another 
somewhat tricky procedure leads to the menu's properties:
Click on the panel Menu icon to make the menu appear.
Position the mouse cursor over one of the menu item and right click.
Choose "Entire menu"
Choose "Properties"
However, the name of the "Games menu" is correct in properties, that is: 
Games
To compare, adding a direct launcher for a single application on the 
panel, the property name (and comment) is what is displayed when 
pointing on the launcher icon on the panel.
And comparing this with the alternative, adding a Drawer to the panel 
(instead of a pull-up Menu), the Drawer keeps its correct display name 
also on the Panel.
Is this a bug for adding Menus to the Panel? Where does the popup 
display name "Main Menu" come from and is it possible to edit it?
