KDE and other windowmanager usually add the menu entry automatically. Perhaps a restart/relogin is needed (not the whole computer has to be restarted, only the windowmanager).

Well, that's been my experience using Mandriva linux (which uses RPM files): the majority of packages make no changes to the desktop or menus.

Really ? :shock:
I think I have to take a look how mandriva manages this for my next mandriva packages. But there should be no differences between the distris, if using kde. kde searches automatically through the standard directories which contain .desktop files (/usr/share/applications or /usr/local/share/applications). Other tools or windowmanager should do the same.
But I'll check this, and if there's a solution for mandriva, I'll let you know.
