I guess I don't know what you mean by KDE's start menu (I mostly use Gnome). The only KDE menu I have doesn't have "more programs". Did I mention that I'm using SuSE 9.0?
OK, you probably want it to appear in System Tools, so, in a Nautilus window go to: applications:///System
Right click in the main area, and select New Launcher
Use the name Synaptic and the command sux -c synaptic Make sure Run in Terminal is checked, and select an icon, now the next time you log in, it'll be available to you. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0).

Taking an opportunity to learn something here, if you don't mind. (There doesn't seem to be a man entry for sux.) I interpret sux to be a super user x-term command, the -c to tell sux to execute a command, and synaptic to be the command to be executed. This is placed into the System menu by creating a new launcher in applications:///System. By extension, if wanted to create this menu item under Games for some reason, I would create the new launcher in applications:///Games. Is that basically correct? One question. Why do I need to execute synaptic in a terminal window? Thanks for any info. Don Henson
