hi again,

This is strange because gmenu is one of the core programs of gnome. 

But you can do this way too. those entries on the panel are some .desktop files
and here is what Internet/Galeon.desktop entry has in it:

penguen@penguen:~$ cat /usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/galeon.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Galeon
Comment=Galeon Web Browser
Exec=galeon
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Icon=galeon.png
penguen@penguen:~$ 

Name and Exec entries are enough, though.

simply creating a .desktop file in the directory (in my case
/usr/share/gnome/apps) will put a new entry on the panel menu. 

best wishes,
baris
