Hello everyone,
I have found how to create shared menu entries (by placing .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/, with the possible additional tweaking of /usr/share/icons/ and /usr/share/desktop-directories/).
Now I'm stuck when trying to put them not only in main menu, but also on desktop. Is it even possible without excessive hassle? I mean I could probably use scripts to put them on all users desktops, since I am root on the fileserver. First problem: ugly practice, really. Second problem: launchers would be there even when they log on systems where the corresponding application is not installed.
Thanks!
PS: Xubuntu 18.04, regular amd64 desktop version, but a solution spanning various flavors or even distributions would obviously be best.
