and Just type the name of the application as it appears on the Menu
and you are done :)
If it is installed, a green box will be shown next to the name. If it
is not installed, the check box will be blank. Easy as pie :)

I like that. It's easy, and it doesn't depend on me remembering any
obscure commands months later when the need to identify a package
happens again.
I tried it in the case of the menu entry "Screenshot", and it yielded a
lot of packages, almost all of which are not installed. The installed
packages found by that search were:
gnome-mplayer
gnome-screenshot
x11-apps
Among this short list, it was easy to find the one I was looking for
(gnome-screenshot).
Thanks! That is the method I will use in the future, along with
displaying the properties of the menu entry.
Regardless what method I choose to use, I am amazed at the variety of
solutions to this problem offered by so many people on this e-mail list,
and the clever ways people have used to solve this problem.
Many thanks to all of you who have offered solutions!
