Red Hat's system menus use the vfolder spec - so the menus are "virtual
folders" that are built using the XML file
/etc/X11/desktop-menus/applications.menu This file references the
*.directory files in /usr/share/desktop-menu-files, and the *.desktop
files scattered about the system (the new default location is
/usr/share/applications). More information can be found at
http://gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/system-admin-guide.html#menust
ructure-0, and http://www.bluethingy.com/linux/rh8menu.html.
If you want to add an icon to the existing menu, add a .desktop file to
/usr/share/applications, it will look something like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Netscape Web Browser
Comment=Browse the Internet with Netscape 7.1
Exec=netscape
Icon=/usr/local/netscape/icons/mozicon50.xpm
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=Application;Network;X-Red-Hat-Base;X-Red-Hat-Base-Only;
StartupWMClass=Netscape
Make sure you have the categories correct for the section you want the
menu item added to. You can get that information from
/etc/X11/desktop-menus/applications.menu.
Hope that helps,
