finally! the deployment crisis is over!
[attachment=1110]
ever installed a package and a menu entry for it was nowhere to be found?
in 30 years of Linux, nobody wanted to fix this deployment crisis.

Hence, only ONE solution remains: create your menu manually yourself.
Nothing else will ever work in Linux.
How? just put a bash line into the traymenu, restart, done. Greatest tool ever!!
in the attached .zip file is just an icon and this little bash script βtray menuβ
#!/bin/bash
# This is the Traymenu 2.5 script, which can be conveniently auto-started at every log-in.
# it must reside as an executable (set the EXE bit attribute) text file named : /home/YOU/traymenu
# traymenu works well in liquidshell !
# You can add menu items in a very simple manner, by adding a line in this script file.
# This makes sense for programs which are not found by "PkgBrowser"
# and hence must be added manually: possible examples are "packagesearch", "apper" or "xara" , "App-finder" // in Debian , anyway.
# make sure you have a nice icon file in place at ~ which is like /home/YOU/tm.png
# click middle mouse button to quit this Traymenu
# run
# sudo pacman -S install gksudo yad
# in Netrunner Rolling Release 2018.1 to have everything working
cd $HOME # keep icon in symlinked autostart, this line is not in the zipfile yet
PIPE="$HOME/.pipe.tmp"
rm $PIPE
mkfifo $PIPE
exec 3<> $PIPE
yad --notification --listen <&3 &
# do not use ~ , use $HOME instead
echo "menu:\
dolphin !dolphin . |\
kate !kate & |\
su mc !gksudo -u root konsole |\
|\
edit this tray menu 2.5 !kate $HOME/traymenu |\
new tray menu after edit ! $HOME/traymenu | " >&3
echo "icon:$HOME/tm.png" >&3
echo "tooltip:Tray menu - right click on icon for a user-modifiable menu" >&3
# tooltip seems to be broken in currenty yad - may work if fixed later
