The following will put gimp in the debian menu system:

$ mkdir  ~/.menu
$ cat > ~/.menu/gimp
?package(gimp):command="/usr/bin/gimp"              \ 
               icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/wilber.xpm" \
	       needs="X11"                          \
               section="Apps/Graphics"              \ 
	       title="The GIMP"                     \ 
	       hints="Bitmap"               
^D
$ update-menus -v
$ (possibly restart your window manager)

You will then need to run update-menus whenever you want the debian menu
updated. (or put it in /usr/lib/menu instead of ~/.menu)

The menu entry taken from the gimp debian package.
