I use suse 12 with very few programs but when I install Komodo it doesn't add itself to my start menu? Why is some program in my start menu and others not?

Try to google it.
There was already an answer about KDE, there it is (it's an exact duplicate I think) http://superuser.com/questions/422072/how-can-i-add-komodo-to-my-start-menu

No, the question is wrong. I asked for a quickstart posibility. I mean the start menu and not the panel. – Phpdna May 25 '12 at 14:03
Did you add Komodo to your PATH ? Maybe you could right click on your menu icon and select "menu editor" then manually add the entry in your menu. Should this work or you already tried ? And to answer your question about "why it isn't adding itself in the menu" I think that's because you didn't installed it with the package manager or oneclick install. Did you install it with a tar.gz or something like that ? Manual installation ? – Depado May 25 '12 at 14:08
I see. Right click on menu icon works. I've added Komodo to my developlement programs but there is no icon? – Phpdna May 25 '12 at 14:14
I think you can add it one manually with KDE. Though I use Gnome 3 so I'm not a professional about that. Right click on your program and check it's property directly in your menu maybe you can set an icon there. – Depado May 25 '12 at 14:17

KDE 4.4.4 (w.r.t openSUSE 11.3)

  • Right click on the Suse start button.
  • Click on Menu editor.
  • Click on New item on the horizontal top panel. Fill in the item name.
  • Click on the newly added item. Fill in the command that it needs to execute (see right side of that window).
  • Click Save on the horizontal top panel.
