It is not very difficult to add applications (like RealPlayer, Mplayer) to rh8 gnome menu. Following are the steps I did to add applications to the menu.
In the terminal:
cd /usr/share/applications
gedit gnome-realplay.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=RealPlayer
Exec=/home/czgu/realplayer9/realplay
Icon=/home/czgu/realplayer9/realplay.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;AudioVideo;X-Red-Hat-Extra;
Encoding=UTF-8
Comment=RealPlayer v9.0
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.3
save it then exit from gedit. Now RealPlayer is in Extra->sound & Video
Categories is a key!! Normally the first one in categories is Application, after Application, could be one of Network, Office, Graphics, AudioVideo, System, Development, Utility, Settings. The last one in categories is one of X-Red-Hat-Base, X-Red-Hat-Base-Only or X-Red-Hat-Extra
if only X-Red-Hat-Base, the application will not be in OTHER.
if X-Red-Hat-Base;X-Red-Hat-Base-Only, it will be in the first level of the menu.
if X-Red-Hat-Extra, it will be in EXTRA ....
In the terminal:
cd /usr/share/applications
gedit gnome-realplay.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=RealPlayer
Exec=/home/czgu/realplayer9/realplay
Icon=/home/czgu/realplayer9/realplay.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;AudioVideo;X-Red-Hat-Extra;
Encoding=UTF-8
Comment=RealPlayer v9.0
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.3
save it then exit from gedit. Now RealPlayer is in Extra->sound & Video
