I want to insert an item to System menu:

  • Help and Support
  • About Gnome
  • About Ubuntu

More specifically, I want to insert a new item under "About Ubuntu".

Trying with alacarte doesn't work. Cloning "ubuntu-about.desktop" file and changing his attributes doesn't work too (I even rebooted the computer after that). Searching for categories in "/usr/share/desktop-directories" haven't worked too, and searching for "core" and "about" entries in /etc/xdc/menus neither. It isn't as easy as I thought it would be.

Anyone have any suggestions?
