Can someone please explain exactly how to add items from the Applications menu to the panel?

Also, is it possible to get rid of the icon next to Places? If so, how?

TIA.

*Edit* Also, how do I just lock the screen when I leave my desk?

Thank you so much

I can't try that tonight as I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed on my other half's laptop, the Xubuntu build is on a work PC.

I saw the menu editor and had a look but it's not quite intuitive is it?

I suspect I have misundertood what the op is asking but to add a launcher to the panel just right click on panel and select add ->launcher.

That was one of the things I wanted to do, so thanks for that

The other issue was removing the icons which appear on the panel next to the main options like Applications and Places. I also want to drag the System option from the main menu and place it on the panel next to the other two.

Right click > remove (green minus icon).

That's not quite right, but it put me on the right track, thanks

It's:

Right Click > Properties > Show > Label Only
