Re: gnome menu update
Hi. Sometime new installed program does not create its own icon in menu.
I've recently discover that you can create a new file in
/usr/share/applications/
(i.e. /usr/share/applications/application_name.desktop)
where define name, exec, type, category and icon.
You can look at another file in the same directory to understand.
In my experience i can say also that with gnome 1.x if you launch
"update-menu", it replicates same menu entries. It does not work well
(not test in gnome 2 which i'm now running).
The better way i think is create yourself the file .desktop
in /usr/shaere/applications/.
Bye
