Hello Daniel:
first of all thanks for your answer. I was editing the lkmonitor.desktop.in file and this is the final content:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Lkmonitor
Comment=Tool for monitoring and managing linux's kernel
Exec=lkmonitor
Icon=spider-shadow32.png
Terminal=false
# MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application;GTK;GNOME
Categories=Application;System;
Version=0.3-alpha
So, I think the application would have to have an icon in the GNOME menu in Applications -> System like Beryl Manager for example (see the attached file) but it hasn't. I am looking some files in /usr/share/aplications/*.desktop but I don't know where is the problem.
Thanks for helping me

The menu file is for the Debian menu. The GNOME and KDE menus are based
on the .desktop file format (see /usr/share/applications/*.desktop and
http://standards.freedesktop.org
).

There is no attachment.

You probably missed to fix the .desktop file. That would explain, why
you have an entry in the GNOME menu and why this entry has it's own
description :)
