Red Hat's system menus use the vfolder spec - so the menus are "virtual folders" that are built using the XML file /etc/X11/desktop-menus/applications.menu This file references the *.directory files in /usr/share/desktop-menu-files, and the *.desktop files scattered about the system (the new default location is /usr/share/applications). More information can be found at http://gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/system-admin-guide.html#menust ructure-0, and http://www.bluethingy.com/linux/rh8menu.html. If you want to add an icon to the existing menu, add a .desktop file to /usr/share/applications, it will look something like this: [Desktop Entry] Name=Netscape Web Browser Comment=Browse the Internet with Netscape 7.1 Exec=netscape Icon=/usr/local/netscape/icons/mozicon50.xpm Terminal=0 Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Categories=Application;Network;X-Red-Hat-Base;X-Red-Hat-Base-Only; StartupWMClass=Netscape Make sure you have the categories correct for the section you want the menu item added to. You can get that information from /etc/X11/desktop-menus/applications.menu.
