An important menu choice is gone.

Hi guys, Linux and Fedora newbie and also "a lurker but first time poster" here.

I've encountered a minor problem with my Fedora 7 box, sorta stupid one that I cannot remedy on my own.

Thing is, I've used the "main menu" tool to clean up the somewhat messy menus by getting rid of menus and submenus containing the same stuff one can find elsewhere, such as SElinux administration tools that appear in at least two places, multiple hardware settings etc.
I wanted all the administrative tools to be under the "system tools" menu, and all other submenus hidden for a clean look and good overview.
While doing that, I somehow managed to get rid of stuff I wanted to keep (pirut, services) but that isn't a biggie since I figured out pirut frontend can be started in the terminal, also the services frontend can be triggered by simply typing in system-config-services in the terminal.

But! The "main menu" config tool is gone and I'm totally lost. I want it back.
What do I need to type in the command prompt to access it?


Thanks in advance.

You don't say whether your using KDE or Gnome for your desktop enviornment. But if you're using Gnome, do you not get an "Edit menu" option when you right click on the Applications/Places/System area of the upper panel?

Sorry, I use the default Gnome environment. (although I occasionally use XFCE).
The first thing I did past first login was to remove the upper panel for a cleaner look. :-(

Edit: To make things clearer - My current taskbar setup looks similar to Windows, with a "start button" (menu) button that has Fedora's logo on it, from where I can access all the applications. But the "main menu" configuration choice normally found in "preferences" --> "personal" is gone.

Works for KDE I guess?
