Subject: [gentoo-user] How to edit Gnome main menu and keep them around.

I haven't seen an answer to my question elsewhere.
I have found it convenient to edit the gnome main applications menu, with a
Science menu and a Guitar menu, and others. I have perhaps too many apps
installed. Apropos is something I'd forgotten about, but it's convenient to
have a gui way to start up my preferred apps, with Gnome.
Gnome's menu is vastly improved over earlier models, in particular that when
a new app is installed, it is immediately available. However, when
updating/upgrading Gnome, my edits are lost.
I'd like to specify a config file withing a "Workbench" folder or other
folder off my ~/ directory, under git control. It would useful for these
changes to be portable on new installs, as well.
Can anyone offer any insight into this problem?
Thanks for previous insightful answers on this list!
