Choose <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>New Entry</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. In the <guilabel>New Entry</guilabel> window, choose a <guilabel>Name</guilabel>, <guilabel>Comment</guilabel>, <guilabel>Command</guilabel> and <guilabel>Icon</guilabel>. The <guilabel>Command</guilabel> will usually be the package name, <guilabel>Name</guilabel> is what will appear on the menu, and the <guilabel>Comment</guilabel> will appear in the tooltip that appears near the menu entry. <guilabel>Icons</guilabel> are added to the <filename>/usr/share/pixmaps</filename> directory by default, or can be chosen from anywhere in your files.
