What are practical applications of Queues?

Applications do not show up on the menu in Linux?

Hey, I am currently running Linux Mint 10 (Julia), and today I am having a few issues with applications I install with the Synaptic Software Manager, and through terminal. Let me advise you I am a Mac OS X nerd and am a total Linux n00b. After I install the applications I want via the Software Manager/terminal, I click on the MintMenu, and all of a sudden, none of my applications are in the MintMenu. Why? I then got curious and went into /usr and checked /usr/share, and saw applications DID install. The only question I have is, how can I get my recently installed applications into this menu, and how can I resolve the issue conflicting how applications are organized? I cannot use OpenOffice now, which really sucks because I do a lot of daily work on there. If you cannot resolve the issue of applications not appearing in the menu, how may I launch the programs manually? Please reply ASAP. Thanks! Sorry if this was a little confusing... my fault.
Answer:

You can generally launch things manually by cracking a shell window and typing the name, assuming they are on your PATH. OpenOffice is either ooffice or soffice. If they aren't on the path, you can give a full pathname like /usr/bin/ooffice

If the applications you installed don't have a GUI, then they won't appear in the menu. You can add application launchers (new items) to the menu with the command being the exact path to the application executable with is usually in /usr/bin. Right-click on the MintMenu's icon to edit your applications list and add new items.

† Oh yeah
