Getting an application to work in the applications menu

[yulester]

I wanted to try out a network scanner, so I've downloaded the Angry IP scanner tool

Per the howto, I have done everything as indicated with the exception of using gedit to create the desktop entry file. In lieu of not havng gedit at the time, I opted to use Kwrite.

So everything is in place, but how do I get this to show in the applications menu??

This is the Howto I have referenced

Thanks - - I'm finally connected to a wireless network with the ndiswrapper / Atheros 5007 setup

WOW - - - this is light light speed compared to damned slow dialup. To bad I have to drive 15+ miles to get to place to test it out.

Ended up connecting with Kwireless assistant.
