Ran Ralphs suggestion for xclock fine,
Browsed to usr/local/bin/  and ran the program from terminal and it worked, 
albeit with some errors that i ignored.

Hi Peter,

the path in the menu item is
"/usr/local/bin/arduino-ide_2.3.3.Appimage   --no-sandbox" and when
i tried to start it I see an error message that it is not found.
I don't use menus, but some ideas...

Is the whole string treated as the path.  Try using
"/usr/local/bin/arduino-ide_2.3.3.Appimage" instead just to see if it
starts, even if it later fails because of the sandbox's constraints.

Is the /usr/local/bin/arduino-ide_2.3.3.Appimage file readable and
executable?  ‘chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/arduino-ide_2.3.3.Appimage’.

Alter the menu item to run a simple, non-AppImage, graphical program,
e.g. /usr/bin/xclock.  If that works, add the -digital argument to learn
if arguments can be given.
