Hi. Sometime new installed program does not create its own icon in menu. I've recently discover that you can create a new file in /usr/share/applications/ (i.e. /usr/share/applications/application_name.desktop) where define name, exec, type, category and icon. You can look at another file in the same directory to understand.
In my experience i can say also that with gnome 1.x if you launch "update-menu", it replicates same menu entries. It does not work well (not test in gnome 2 which i'm now running). The better way i think is create yourself the file .desktop in /usr/shaere/applications/. Bye On Fri, 2006-03-24 at 17:22 -0500, Rick Pasotto wrote: > When/how do the gnome menus get updated?
