You can find them by
# locate .desktop
Most of them are placed in
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/applications/
If you are running linux apps you will find some more 
../applications/ directories.
You can create/edit them with your favourite editor.

The idea is, that every application should come with it's own 
ready made .desktop files and that users should keep their 
fingers off menu configurations. Probably this is a very bad 
idea.
