    Your subject says "add an icon to the desktop?" but your email says "add
    an application to a menu".

    I'm using KDE, RHL9, BlueCurve, and here's how I add icons to the
    desktop:

    To add an icon to the desktop right click on the desktop and choose
    "Create New | Link to Application" or "Create New | Link to Location".

    However, if I'm creating an icon that points to a directory, I like to
    create a regular linux symbolic link using ln ("man ln"), as I like the
    green arrow it puts on the folder icon, to point out it's a link.

    I have no idea how to modify the menu; the K help system has a section
    called "KDE user's manual"; in it, section 6 purports to expplain how
    to do it, but the menu entry it says to use isn't in the default Red
    Hat menu. So I hope someone else will tell us how to modify the menu.

    Jeff
