Need Serious Menu and Panel Help

I have been struggling to figure out how to select what shows up in my launch menu and my bottom panel, to no avail. They are out of control. Please someone guide me through how to manage them. Tell me what info I need to give you so you can help me. Thanks in advance!
I'm assuming that you're using GNOME, the default desktop environment in Trisquel.
To edit the launch menu, go to 'System Settings->Main Menu'. 'System Settings' is probably in the in the launch menu beneath 'Add/Remove Applications.'
To add an item to your bottom panel, right click on a blank part of it and select "Add to Panel."
Thank you for your help. First how do I tell if I am using gnome?
When I go to Main Menu and change settings they do not seem to have any effect on the launch menu. This is what has been driving me batty.
When I right click on panel I can add to panel as you describe, but how do I delete from the panel? Oh okay I discovered just now that if I Alt-right-click I get the option to remove.
Thank you in advance for your help!
GNOME Fallback is Trisquel 7's (not Trisquel Mini's) default desktop environment. It is called "Trisquel's session" at the graphical login screen (where you can choose to start another environment, once installed of course). Trisquel 8's default will be MATE.
If you are using Trisquel 7 and haven't gone out of your way to install a new desktop environment you are almost certainly using GNOME. See Magic Banana's comment.
It sounds like you have figured out how to manage the bottom panel.
As for the launch menu, does the editor look like the attached screenshot? If so, you should be able to select an application group (internet, office, etc.) and check/uncheck the applications you do/don't want to appear in the launch menu. The launch menu should be updated even before you close the editor, so try that and see if that works.
If that doesn't work, go to "Add/Remove Applications," install Menu Editor, and try using that instead.
