I'm using a pretty vanilla debian 9 with xfce. There's an Applications menu in the upper left which has lots and lots of applications listed under multiple submenus.
There's a program that i have on my system whose name i cannot find in the Applications menu. However, that might just be because i conducted a defective search. So i'm wondering if there's a systematic way to determine if the program is in the menu. (Presumably it is a matter of looking in /usr/bin or something like that, although that cannot be the complete solution as there are a few thousand programs in /usr/bin, and they cannot all fit in the menu. So i suspect there's a list somewhere . . . ) TIA for any clues on this, dan
