linux: wouldn't it be cool...
Hi, I was just thinking that it would be nice to be able to install ifeffit and friends into either the KDE or GNOME menus. For example, one could imagine installing athena and artemis by doing perl Makefile.PL make make install make install-kde or make install-gnome where the last step makes the menu entries for the codes. Do any of the linux hacks out there know how this is done (at the level of a script -- I know how to do it by hand)?

Bruce: My Debian packages already do it. Debian/Linux has a simple facility for this and it is automagically done on package installation. Then it appears in the menuing system of whichever desktop is being used. Not only that, but I have cobbled up some icons for the two programs. Carlo On Wed, 14 Jan 2004, Bruce Ravel wrote:
