SPAM: Adding to Gnome menus?

Hi all, I'd like to add an application to the menu offered by Gnome. I found the "edit menus" thing on the toolbar/startbar/whatever-it's-called, but it didn't seem to offer a way to add a new program, only a way to select which to display taken from those that were already known to it. What am I missing? TIA Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions." — Naguib Mahfouz
