How will i change the shortcut in application menu in GNOME, i know in KDE but not in GNOME, i tried using applications:\\\ but still i cannot edit the file, and it says disk set to read only???

You will need root previlidges for that.

There are few gnome-menu editor around. I havent ever used them but you can try out if you want.

I cant recall another editor but it was text based.

gnome-menu-editor will work with only GNOME 2.11.x.
Use gmenu-editor instead

Better still use SMEG

i istalled smeg. while trying to run it it shows the following error

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/smeg", line 30, in ?
    from MenuHandler import MenuHandler
  File "/usr/lib/smeg/MenuHandler.py", line 29, in ?
    import xdg.Menu, xdg.Config, xdg.IniFile, xdg.MenuEditor, xdg.BaseDirectory
ImportError: No module named xdg.Menu

You will need to install pyxdg after installing smeg.

I must say the smeg workes pretty fine.
