Some apps do not have a proper Ubuntu menu config file, but may have a
Debian menu file. Edit Applications menu (right click Applications &
click Edit Menus) and turn on the 'Debian' menus - check there & see if
the app shows up there. If so, you can run it from that, or copy/move
the menu item to the main menu.

If you do not have 'Debian' in the menu list:

$ sudo apt-get install menu
$ sudo update-menus

Note: 'menu' is in the Universe repository, so make sure that you have
that repo enabled.
