If anyone else needs to know I have found a workarond

All menu items are .desktop files under either /etc/X11/applink or
/usr/share/gnome

So to create a link basically copy and amend and existing.desktop file
and place in the heirarchy to taste

And of course to move just move the desktop file 

(have to be cli I think as I dont think nautilus can do it at present)

Hacky - but it works for now until libs are fixed

BTW - after my p[revious flames to the list gnome2 with latest updates
is cool (and substantially faster than 1.4)
