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
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 ?

ImportError: No module named xdg.Menu

You will need to install pyxdg after installing smeg.

I must say the smeg workes pretty fine. :)
