In KDE, I just run kappfinder. Then tick (check) the things that I want added

for every individual program. But of course, YMMV - and almost certainly
does. I do love the way that Linux normally lets _you_ choose what you want,
not the "owner" of the software. :-)

As it happens, I do have kappfinder.
Whilst the kappfinder window does not include anything like a "Help
-> About" facility, for finding the version number, searching for
kappfinder in Synaptic, shows (from the Properties -> Common tab) that
the version number is 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2.
Unfortunately, I cannot use Copy and Paste, to copy information from the
Properties -> Common facility in Synaptic.
I tried kappfinder, but, unfortunately, it did not find the application.
Perhaps, it is due to the categorizing of the games, within the KDE
applications menu, and it was not sure which subcategory of Games, was
applicable?
