I can't really see the point of having a system menu. The only buttons 
which must be userproof are the "run..." and "log out" buttons. 
Everything else could be user-configurable, based on a system-wide 
default menu, with a seperate default menu for root, with all the system 
administration stuff on it. As long as users have the "run..." and "log 
out" buttons they can rescue themselves from deleting any other menu 
items. It annoys me that I have to log
in as root to edit my user account's main menu. I could copy everything 
to a user menu and edit that instead, but then what's the point of the 
system menu?
