Control-center->panel->menus.

You can certainly remove Favorites with that. Not sure about a Red Hat
Menus submenu. I am running RH 7.0 and don't see it (unless it only
comes up for root or something?)

RH doesn't compile Gnome stuff into the kernel, no :) That's pretty
separate. However, I am not quite sure myself what generates what
shows up on menus. Two things to look at for RH are 
	o anything in /usr/share/gnome/ or /usr/share/applets which has 
	the suffix .desktop
	o anything in /etc/X11/applnk/

Things in the first one will show up in the menu editor. Things in that 
second one will show up for some reason but are not found by the
menu editor. When you have a Gimp in each one of those locations, you
end up with two Gimp entries on your menu. I believe the /etc/X11/applnk
one is a residue from RH's old desktop setup for X, prior to Gnome.
