To add an application to the GNOME Desktop, perform the following steps:
Add a menu item for the application. For more information on how to add an item to a menu, see the section called “Editing System Menus”.
Add an icon for the application to /usr/share/icons/theme-name/icon-size/apps. For more information on icons and themes, see the section called “Installing Icons for Themes”.
If the application uses a new MIME type, add a source XML file to the MIME database. For more information, see the section called “Modifying MIME types”.
If the application uses a new MIME type, add an icon for the MIME type to /usr/share/icons/theme-name/icon-size/mimetypes. For more information on icons and themes, see Chapter 3, Installing Themes.
To associate the application with a MIME type, include a MimeType key in your .desktop file. For more information, see the section called “Registering Applications for MIME Types”.
