For a concrete example, consider Evolution. To remove the Evolution
launcher from the messaging menu, you'd have to launch Evolution and
set up your email account before you can access Evolution's
preferences and disable the launcher. If the messaging menu lets you
access a simple blacklist, you can just go there and uncheck
Evolution
and be done with it.

Assuming that users prefer to act directly on objects, would it not be
more direct to allow them to right click on the menu item to remove
it?
This would be consistent with how users remove the Evo launcher from
the
panel.

Context menus on menus themselves is something generally avoided. I'm
pretty sure it's a big no-no in the GNOME HIG as well, but I'd have to
check.

David

True, but personally, I'd rather make the system work the way users want
and expect it to, even if it requires deviating from the HIG.
