Getting a app starter in kde4 alpha?

[Fintan]

I am having a slight problem with my HH kde4 alpha install.

I want to add a app starter to kickoff / kmenu. We can't do that yet with a gui and thwere is no kde3 to help with kmenu edit.

Any ideas which files I have to edit?

I know that the icons on the menu are just *.desktop icons that are located in a directory that is read by the menu. Here is an example for the qt-gtk style that I attempted to get working yesterday.

The file is kdmgtk4.desktop
Located in /usr/local/share/applications/kde4/

[Dekstop Entry]
Name=GTK Styles and Fonts
Comment=Control the style and fonts used by GTK applications
Exec=kcmshell kcmgtk4
Icon=kcmgtk.png

Encoding=UTF-8

Type=Service
X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KCModule
X-KDE-Library=kcm_gtk4
X-KDE-ParentApp=kcontrol
Catergories=Settings;Qt;KDE;X-KDE-settings-looknfeel;
X-KDE-System-Settings-Parent-Catergory=appearance

I don't know how much this will help. I have created my own menu icons by first creating a desktop icon, then moving it into the menu.

Thankx but that doesn't help.

I want to create a app. launch entry pointing to a non-kde app.

Specifically ~/spicebird-beta/spicebird

But with your help I may be able to add the icons later
