We have an integrated menu system across all the desktops. The price is that
apps which create menu items only for one desktop usually do not address our
menuing structure. The trick is to use the menu editor called menudrake.
Start it from a terminal or from the menu. If you start it from DrakConf,
you are editing root and system menus.
It is easy to use and the best time to use it is while you stil have the
items in your menu so you can just copy their contents into the standard menu
item.
There is one large bug in the 7.2 version of MenuDrake which can cause
unpredictable results. It updates menus without showing a busy cursor--only
an "updating" and a "finish" in the lower left corner of the menudrake
window. If users stop it early, it does weird things.
logout/login fixates the menus with their new values. So does update-menus
run from a terminal.
