Adding icons to Gnome/KDE menus

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I've been trying to find information on adding an item to the Gnome 
(and later KDE) panels for my program. I found how to manually add an 
icon using "Applications Menu Editor" but even grep'ing for strings in 
it didn't help...

   I have an installer script that, well, installs the program. I would 
like to add the option to the installer to have a menu icon added that 
would call the user's default browser of choice pointing to the program 
(ie: 'firefox http://localhost:853/cgi-bin/tle-bu.cgi'). The problem I 
have is that I have no idea how to do this from the command line.

   From the best I could gather so far, I need to put a text file 
somewhere in '/usr/share/gnome??'. Can anyone give me any pointers?

   I've tried google and google groups and I've looked through the Gnome 
docs and FAQs on their page without luck... Of course, the program and 
the installer are written in perl. :p

Thanks in advance!!

Madison
