Ok here's an example: I added Firefox, but it didn't
show up in the menu.
So I located the firefox.desktop file, and here's what
it contains:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=web browser
Exec=firefox
GenericName=
Icon=firefox
Name=firefox
Path=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=0
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
There's no NoShow entry... so what gives? how do I get
firefox to appear in the menu?
