It's not that much better though, this is simply horrible, give me KDE's configureation editor anyday.

Not much better than what, regedit? I hope you are kidding. KDE's configuration thing isn't bad, but you can't do a whole pile with it IIRC. Editing gconf settings manually is for stuff that people rarely configure, you rarely need to do it.
I'm not sure exactly how configuration stuff is done in KDE, but if you're referring to the KDE control center, which I would only compare to the Desktop > Preferences menu in GNOME, I cannot imagine it giving me access to all the stuff I see in gconf-editor, because the settings in gconf-editor aren't friendly and they AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE. They're for power users, not newbies. However, the damn thing is so friendly that I could ALWAYS find what I wanted without getting lost/confused, without reading anything.

Well I don't know but a nube like myself should easilly be able to figure out how to add programs to the menu.
And I don't know whate you mean by Desktop > Preferences are you sure you don't mean System > Preferences?

The menu info isn't stored in gconf, it's stored in standardized .desktop files usually found in /usr/share/applications. If KDE has a menu editor, it should work with the GNOME menu too. They retrieve the menu info from the same locations.

It's Desktop > Preferences in my GNOME 2.12.0 mostly-default compilation. What GNOME version are you using?

Yes but how the fuck was I suppose to know?

Come to think of it I can't really remember about KDE, Xfce had an excellent menu editor - most of the configureation was point and click, perhapps the more advanced stuff was in the configureation file just like it should be.

2.10.0 - that's not too old is it?
