Insert program in menu/panel

Hello again - after a little bit of time... Today I installed squirrelmail but it does not show up in the menu on the desktop. And as it is not there I can't integrate it in the top panel...

How do I get an entry for the program e.g. under "office" in the menu?

Any help is appreciated.

Regards Ernst

Hi Ernst

There are no shortcuts provided because there is no gui to launch.

Squirrelmail appears to serve up a webmail interface to an imap or smtp mail server.

Your web browser is the GUI interface client which connects to squirrelmail which is running on a webserver.

Hello

As root you have to create a new file squirrelmail.desktop in /usr/share/applications like this :

[Desktop Entry]

Exec=squirrelmail

Icon=/path_to_icon_squirrelmail

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Categories=Application;Office;WordProcessor;GNOME;GTK;X-Red-Hat-Base;

StartupNotify=true

Encoding=UTF-8

X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.9

MimeType=application/x-squirrelmail;text/x-squirrelmail;text/x-xml-squirrelmail;text/plain;application/msword;application/rtf;application/vnd.plain;application/xhtml+xml;text/html;application/x-crossmark;application/docbook+xml;application/x-t602;application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text;application/vnd.sun.xml.writer;application/vnd.stardivision.writer;text/vnd.wap.wml;application/wordperfect6;application/wordperfect5.1;

Name=squirrelmail

GenericName=Squirrel

Comment=Squirrel

It's no use rebooting !

Have a nice day and excuse my very poor English.
