That's determined in the .desktop file itself, take the xchat one for
example:

Categories=Application;Network;

This would make it show up under Internet -> More Internet Applications.
Add "X-Red-Hat-Base;" to the categories, and it'll show up in the main
Internet menu.

OK, I found the jpilot.desktop file and was able to add an icon to it. Thanks!

Next question: What file or file type determines what apps appear in what menu? In other words, how does my system know that the "More Office Applications" menu contains gnumeric, jpilot, kchart, etc?

/usr/share/applications, edit the .desktop files there.

I have some items in my gnome menu that do not have icons associated with them. To associate an icon, I tried right-clicking on the item, selecting "Properties", clicking on the icon button, then selecting the icon from the list. When I close the "Properties" dialog, I get this error message:

Cannot save changes to launcher

Details: Error writing file
'applications:/Office/MoreOffice/jpilot.desktop':

Where are the XML files refered to in that discussion? I'd be happy to do this configuration by hand if I just knew how.

Thanks!
