Hi,

I think you should probably have sent this mail to a more appropriate
mailing list (gnome-list, for example) since desktop-devel-list is for
discussion about the development of the GNOME desktop. But I'll try to
answer your question anyway :-)

If you want to change the objects that appear on the default panels,
then you probably want to modify panel-default-setup.entries. The format
of this file is not really complex and looking at its content is a good
way to understand what you'll need to modify.

This is how you'll be able to add a main menu to the default panels.

Now, if you want to add a menu with special items, then it gets more
complex... It's easier with GNOME 2.10 (thanks to the new rocking
freedesktop.org menu spec support) since it's mostly a matter of
changing/adding some files in /etc/xdg/menus/. Tell me if you need more
details about this.

Cheers

Vincent
