applications menu

[Nikolai]

Can someone please explain why some installed applications are not on
the Applications menu? (I'm on Edgy)

In particular, I don't see Tomboy and it doesn't start from the command
line, it gives this:

(Tomboy:24472): libtomboy-WARNING **: Binding '<Alt>F11' failed!

I thought I would make Tomboy to appear on the apps menu via alacarte
but it's not there either. I have launched alacarte from the command
line but no Tomboy there either.

Can someone help please?

Thanks
Nikolai
