Yes, xdg-desktop-menu will probably do the trick. > One could "cheat" and write an install.sh script that adds the > appropriate menu item, sudo-apt-gets the PyGame dependency (python is > there by default in Ubuntu).

I personally would therefore just make some quite simple Debian/Ubuntu packaging and distribute a .deb file - I believe most distributions of this flavour have a graphical tool which will offer to install such packages if downloaded, and the whole sudo business would be taken care of by such a tool. This isn't how I obtain software, however, so you might want to experiment a little. Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
