gnomevfs2 doesn't has any of menu function anymore. It's in gnome-menus.

gnome-menus doesn't provide any option to enable/disable like what  
gnomevfs2 used to have. I am not going to work on to break the 'standard'  
installation of gnome-menus, so send us the patch if you do really want to  
have the KDE menu disable. When you create patch, be sure to keep KDE menu  
enable by default.

Disagree, this is even more nasty. If GNOME 2.10 has menu editors then the  
things will be difference, because any users can remove KDE menu. It is  
easier to remove than that 'env' stuff.
