	When this first came up, I didn't pull the patches upstream because I
felt that the best way to achieve this was to make menu and panel
editing easier for admins.

	i.e. our current solution is for admins to just remove the items from
the menus/panel using Sabayon and a menu editor.

	What wouldn't be obvious to most people is that Sun wanted the GConf
keys in any case because APOC wouldn't work with e.g. .menu files :-)

Cheers,
Mark.
