Pardon me for the intrusion, but why aren't "ICQ" and "IRC" part of "Chat"?
I didn't think that they had gotten so big that they required their own
categories.. have they?

It's kinda like breaking Multimedia up into "MIDI", "MP3", and "Sound"
(don't even think about it).  It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to
me.

I guess I'm just not a fan of too many categories and not enough programs to
justify them.

To add a menu for a package, you have to create a file under
/usr/lib/menu/package with a content like that:

?package(package):needs="x11" section="hieratrchy from bellow"  title="menu 
text" \
longtitle="my long description" command="command"

and add to the %post and %postun of the spec file, the following:

%post
if [ -x /usr/bin/update-menus ]; then
  /usr/bin/update-menus
fi

%postun

if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then
  if [ -x /usr/bin/update-menus ]; then
/usr/bin/update-menus
  fi
fi

For example, a menu entry for lavaps a graphical process viewer will
look like that in /usr/lib/menu/lavaps:

?package(lavaps):needs="x11" section="Monitoring"  title="lavaps" \
longtitle="a graphical process viewer" command="lavaps"

For more info, read the doc in the menu package in /usr/doc/menu-*.
