There seems to be a regular stream of new Lubuntu users wishing to add new menu items to launch their applications or run a shortcut.
There is no menu editor for Lubuntu, so this task is normally performed manually by creating a .desktop file with the required parameters and saving it (with root privileges) in: /usr/share/applications/
...Or maybe this is a good time for some of you to try your hand at programming in Linux by creating your own app!
If so, there is a simple Gambas example to get you started here: http://www.linuxbasic.net/applicationscode-snippets/simple-app-to-add-menu-items-on-lubuntu/
