Hi, folks, I'm Henrique from Brazil and I'm trying to be a maintainer of a chemical drawing tool called bkchem. After some reseach and with Terje's help the job is almost done, but I'm not able to make the RPM create a menu entrie for the software. Can anyone helpe with this? In the source folder we see bkchem-0.12.2/images that contains icons with many resolutions and a splash screen.
Thank you all

You need a .desktop file for that. The description of the file's format can be found here:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/
You can also look at other package's files to see how to create one such file.
Having the .desktop file, you just need to make some small changes to the spec file to register the file. They are described in the packaging guidelines:
