Its easy to create a shortcut for any program by creating a app-name.desktop in /usr/share/applications. Refer existing ones for help.
Thanks for this info.
Can you please explain the process?
I think this is similar to adding a new grub menu entry: copy a template from older entry and change a few bits. I tried out adding a menu for KNetworkmanager thusly:
root@ZION:/usr/share/applications # cat knetworkmanager.desktop [Desktop Entry] Categories=System;SystemSetup Type=Application Name=Knetworkmanager GenericName=To start Knetworkmanager Exec=knetworkmanager
#X-SuSE-translate=true
I think it heps to take an existing .desktop file of a program from the same menu where you want to insert a new entry.
The app-name.desktop will appear in your gnome menu.
Works for me in KDE (OpenSuse 10.2)
