I'd like to know why some applications appear in the menu while others dont
example
I have thunderbird and firefox, both have .desktop files in the
/usr/share/applications directory only but only thunderbird appears
under the "Generated Menus"->"Internet" menu
Firefox is not to be found in any menu
