   Hi

   I use relatively rarely a spreadsheet. SC is definitively enough for me. And I would like to find it in the menu under the submenu "Office" and after that to be able to make hit right mouse key to the choice "Add to the desktop"

   How to do that step-by-step (as it was done for f. ex. "alsamixer")

   You have to create what's called a ".desktop file". The system ones are in /usr/share/applications, you can open one in your favourite editor to see what it looks like, or search the web.

   Then you can write your own, name it as you wish, and put it in ~/.local/share/applications. I think the menu should be auto-refreshed, but you can always restart the panel (lxpanelctl restart).

   Edit: if you don't really care about the menu entry you can put the .desktop file directly into ~/Desktop.

   Try adding subox to the Exec line: subox /path/to/my_app.
