The preferred (and, as far as I've read, only officially endorsed) way
to edit the gnome menu is to go to the location "applications:///"
(without quotes) in Nautilus.  From there, you can make whatever new
top-level folder you want, or add any launchers you would like to any
of the exising folders.

If you're using "spatial" Nautilus, you can get there by pressing
ctrl+L, and typing in "applications:///" (again, without quotes, and
with three slashes).
