Picasa installs, but does not appear in menu

[bascule]

Hi,

Just installed Picasa on my Phoenix machine and it installed OK and I can start it from a terminal window, but it did not install an icon into the menu.

I can fix it myself in the menu, but would like to raise it here as probably a bug in the install script?

Synaptic says it should be placed in section Applications/Graphics, but it is not there and, according to Application Finder (a nice little tool BTW), is not anywhere in the menu.

Not THE answer to putting Picasa in the menu but A way to have Picasa on your task bar.

Right click on the top task bar..to get ADD NEW ITEMS...Open Launcher...Browse for your application in usr/bin Picasa should be there...open/add... you can change the icon...etc...

I'm still VERY NEW to Xfce, but I got a lot of help from reading HOW TOs in the PCLinuxOS Magazine...I just can't remember what issue off the top of my head.

Still figurin' Xfce out myself. Good luck!
