If it's a *.deb, menus should be taken care of. If it's third party,
create a menu items under /etc/menu/ and run update-menus. Application
"handlers" is a little horky, but generally there's /etc/mailcap. But,
GNOME and KDE both have their own ideas about these things... For GNOME,
you might find something under /etc/gnome/...
