Hi,

simple question: How do I add my own app to the Applications menu?

I google a little but, but the answers are scary... expert knowledge of xml to do that???

Isn't there a button for New, Add, then browse, locate, etc., so I can add my own binary to the Applications menu?

Regards,

Leo

If you have [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alacarte]alacarte[/url] installed, you should be able to right-click over Applications, and then select Edit Menus.

You're welcome. Not sure about KDE.

Maybe a search for [i]editing kde menus[/i] would turn up some info?

Alacart is strictly for Gnome menus.

For KDE, you should be able to right-click the kicker and edit from there by default.
