I am not completely sure, it is a long time ago that i had to do this. It 
worked with debian etch for gnome and kde.
Try to create an aplicationname.desktop file at /usr/share/applications and 
run update-menus

example of the aplicationname.desktop file which worked fine for me:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Skype (32bit)
Comment=Skype Internet Telephony
Exec=skype
Icon=/usr/share/icons/skype.png
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=Network;Application;
