Debian Menu

[Chad Kiser]

I hate answering my own questions but I think I've worked out a work
around.  If anyone can see any reason why I shouldn't do this let me
know.  Ok here's what I did, I'm only dealing with items under the
Debian/games menu

Open applications:///Games in nautilus
Open a second nautilus window and go to /var/lib/gnome/debian
Then I drag a folder (ex:Arcade) from /var/lib/gnome/debian over to
Applications:///Games using the middle mouse button and select link
here.  Now when I load a new game that should get placed into the menu
under arcade it'll show up.

It takes one tree to make 10,000 matches,
but one match to burn 10,000 trees.
