An interesting question for a Debian list. I'll assume you installed it with rpm into a Debian system (otherwise, there are better places to ask). You probably should have converted the .rpm to a .deb with alien, so that dpkg could recognize it, but since you didn't, I believe you can get a list of the files which were installed with 'rpm -ql packagename'. This is similar to the Debian command 'dpkg -L packagename'. This command should show you the path as well as the names of the files. Alternatively, you can find what files are in the .rpm package by using 'rpm -qpl packagename.rpm'. You might consider removing the package and using alien to make a Debian package and then install it with 'dpkg -i packagename.deb'. This would allow you to use the Debian tools instead of rpm. As for launching the application, once you identify the location of the executable, you can make a local menu entry, run 'update-menus' and have it on the menu of your window manager.
