Distance between menu item

[Jaap Haitsma <jaap@haitsma.org>]

Hi

I noticed that the distance between menu items in Debian GNOME is very 
large. Therefore you can not have many bookmarks and also large menus 
cover the whole screen on low resolution monitors

I made a screenshot of the applications menu in debian
See http://ftp.haitsma.org/debian-gnome.jpg
and the one in Fedora
See http://ftp.haitsma.org/rh-gnome.jpg

In Debian the menu items are 30 pixels apart and in Fedora only 24 
pixels. Is there an option I can set to get them closer?
