You do not have to run update-menus manually unless you have added
your own personal menu entries or menu-methods (you haven't).
To work out where an item has been placed, you could try reading the
menu-entry placed in /usr/lib/menu, e.g.
~$ cat /usr/lib/menu/xterm
?package(xterm):\
needs="x11"\
section="XShells"\
longtitle="XTerm: terminal emulator for X"\
title="XTerm"\
command="xterm"
?package(xterm):\
needs="x11"\
section="XShells"\
longtitle="XTerm: terminal emulator for X with Unicode support"\
title="XTerm (Unicode)"\
command="uxterm
This tells me that there's an 'xterm' entry under 'XShells'.
Of course if you can't find a menu-entry in /usr/lib/menu, there might
not be one. File a bug on the program in question to get one added
(and CC to this thread, some helpful people like me may write it!)
If there is a menu entry under /usr/lib/menu, you haven't tinkered
with your own personal menus, and yet it still doesn't appear in your
application's menu, it could be a bug in that application (e.g. the
gnome panel).
