Katapult's Program Catalog only indexes items that are found in the K Menu. So 
if you want to run items not in the K Menu, you'll have to add it to the 
menu.

An alternative and probably easier way is to use the Execute catalog. I'm not 
sure if the version of Katapult in Feisty has this catalog, but it's present 
in Gutys (Katapult 0.3.2).

Type "exec xterm" in Katapult to launch xterm. You can configure Katapult to 
use a shorter trigger word if you want.

Hope that helps.
