Hi, A program that's very important to the other teachers and my own classroom use is CmapTools <http://cmap.ihmc.us/download/index.php>. It has it's own graphical install but doesn't add itself to a menu. I've made a launcher (that shows up on my own desktop) and CmapTools works great as a localapp (doesn't work well as a thin client app). I've worked to get this launcher in all users menu using "How To Add an Item To The GNOME Menu For All Users<http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/07/how-to-add-item-gnome-menu/> " which is clear and I can follow, but even though I can accurately follow it, I can't get the menu item to show up in the menu.
Would someone in the know look at that tutorial and see if they see a flaw in it--maybe it needs a tweak for 10.04? Maybe a tweak for LTSP? Since I couldn't get it to work, for myself I finally made a launcher, put it in a shared folder, had students, 'drag and drop it' onto their desktop, open properties/permissions, check 'executable' box and then they could use it. But that takes valuable science learning time and there are practical problems (students absent, etc) so I really need a simpler solution before the other teachers use it. Thanks, David
