Hrm, Niels explicitly Cc'd the list, but according to the archives it
never got through... *sigh*

Cc'ing the list as well, leaving Niels comments intact for reference.

Just in case you got me wrong: That was not a snide remark. I'm indeed
glad you posted all solutions back to the list for reference.

Regarding the file locations for non SuSE systems: This seems to be an
SuSE specific issue. On my system, there is neither the mentioned shell
scripts nor the env vars posted before.

Ah well... I neither don't know, why they missed the menu editor.

Well, that's what the list is for. Solving issues and discussions. :)

Anyway, since GNOME 2.6 so much has changed. Your notes aren't
necessarily bad at all, they just don't cover new stumbling blocks...
