With Gnome 2.2, there is a little bit of editing that can be done.  You 
can remove some menu items, view properties, etc.  Far from perfect, but 
it's a bone.  It would be nice (and maybe it is possible, although far 
from intuitive) do be able to have user-defined menus in 
addition/instead of the system menu definitions.  Would certainly be 
useful for kiosk type installs as well.
