I brought up a similar problem 2 or 3 weeks ago. Ther was a very
nice discussion on the update-menus operation. You might check the
archives for details.
For your problem, if its not a Debian package, do something this:
less /etc/menu/gtcd
?package(local.gtcd):needs="x11" icon="none" section="Apps/Sound"
title="Gtcd" command="/usr/X11R6/bin/gtcd"
All on the same line of course. Note the ?package(local.gtcd). Thats
what got it working here.
HTH, YMMV, HAND
