In Xfce you can edit the menus with alacarte.

If you install 'alacarte' in fedora 15, a lot of unecessary gnome-stuff like 'mutter', etc. will installed on your machine too.

Re: right-click menu editing in fedora 15?

I have a solution for fedora 15. Rebuild you own alacarte rpm.
Download http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packa … 15.src.rpm
Install it with 'rpm -ivh alacarte-0.13.2-3.fc15.src.rpm'.
cd /home/user/rpmbuild/SPECS/
Edit alacarte.spec.
Change

BuildRequires:  python, python-devel, gettext
BuildRequires:  pygtk2-devel
BuildRequires:  pkgconfig
BuildRequires:  gnome-menus-devel >= 2.27.92
BuildRequires:  intltool
BuildRequires:  desktop-file-utils
BuildRequires:  autoconf
Requires:       pygtk2, gnome-python2-gconf
Requires:       gnome-menus >= 2.27.92
Requires:       gnome-panel

in

BuildRequires:  python, python-devel, gettext
BuildRequires:  pygtk2-devel
BuildRequires:  pkgconfig
BuildRequires:  gnome-menus-devel >= 2.27.92rave
BuildRequires:  intltool
BuildRequires:  desktop-file-utils
BuildRequires:  autoconf
Requires:       pygtk2
Requires:       gnome-menus >= 2.27.92

Then 'rpmbuild -ba alacarte.spec'
Maybe you have to install some buid dependencies.
If everything works well you find an alacarte rpm in /home/user/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch
Install it.
I've tested it on my fc15 system.

Note, if alacrte will updated with yum sometimes, don't do that because it will insttall gnome dependencies.
Rebuid the the new.src rpm again.

Edit:
Sorry, forget this solution because this rebuild version of alacarte doesn't make any new menu entry in my fc15 xfce desktop.
