Those .desktop files seems to play a important role in this. To point applications to my new menu entry, should I edit the .desktop.in in the source code (tarball) of a package? And let say I want to make a multimedia distro with some new entries for: Midi Recording How do I point a specific application to that new entry in my menu? A example of a .desktop.in I found in the Ardour source code (tarball): [Desktop Entry] Name=Ardour Comment=Ardour Digital Audio Workstation Exec=ardour2 Icon=ardour2 Terminal=false MimeType=application/x-ardour2; Type=Application Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;X-Recorders;X-Multitrack;X-Jack; I think Categories specify the place of the application (Ardour) in the Menu. But How can I specify that Ardour should be placed in my new menu entry 'Recording'? Thanks in advance, \r
