Description
My apologies if this has already been requested. It seems like it would make life SO much easier to create/manipulate custom menus if the My Account Link were not locked to the Navigation menu. I know there's a number of work arounds, however, it seems to me like one should be able to put the My Account Menu item where ever one wants.
Thanks for the consideration.

A) you should be using Drupal 5.5 Drupal 5.4 had problems that were fixed with the release of Drupal 5.5
B) a request should be made against the next version of Drupal that is accepting feature requests which would be Drupal 7
I also don't see the need for this to happen, one can create a new menu item called "my account" and then the link can be moved around as desired.

That would be great, if it worked. :-(
You can't create a dynamic menu item with the GUI. So you create it in your module instead, something like this in hook_menu(), right?
<?php$items[] = array(
'path' => 'user/'.$user->uid,
'title' => t('My account'),
'type' => MENU_CUSTOM_ITEM,
);
?>
And yes, now the 'My account' item is not locked and has an edit button. However, the edit button links to menu/item/edit/-212 and gives a 404!
So, are the steps described above actually going to work in Drupal 7? If so, I agree they're fine. But the above does not work in Drupal 5.5, so far as I can tell - I've been banging my head against this for over a week and asked dozens of folk who all shrug their shoulders!

The 'My account' item is editable in Drupal 6.

Hallelujah! I'm going to run outside and dance in the garden, even though it's raining. ;-)
