I don't think an option to disable editing would be a good solution
here.  I still want to be able to easily edit the menu launchers; I just
don't want that to break other features than I'm using.  Also, it's a
pretty bad user experience for a feature (right click desktop menu) to
be broken unless the user knows to disable another feature in a separate
settings panel.

Does the edit action really have to be a right-click?

If so, how about distinguishing between click-release (to edit) and
openmenu-release (to launch)?  This would make a lot of sense, because
all other GUIs that I've used know the difference between a button being
released over the same item on which it was pressed and a button being
released over a different item.  In other words, pressing a mouse button
on the desktop followed by releasing it on a menu item really shouldn't
be considered a normal "click" in the first place.
