Have a look in the release notes

	http://www.gnome.org/start/2.0/releasenotes.html.

There is a section there called "menu editing is incomplete" that explains the
situation.

There is also this document

	http://www.gnome.org/start/2.0/menuediting.html

which explains how to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself. It is not too
difficult, but if you make too many typos, things go south pretty quickly
(voice of experience here, trust me).

Cheers,
