Thanks for your bug. What menu do you use? The GNOME one? What version of Ubuntu? What does "gnome-menu-spec-test | grep frozen-bubble" write if you run it?

oops, sorry.. (it's very late around here)
using ubuntu edgy, gnome
i've installed menu, menu-xdg packages in order to bypass
the "blinking menu" bug (the panel-menu-bar followed a broken symlink, and kept refreshing. installing those packages solved
the problem by providing a working path for the symlink)

gnome-menu-spec-test | grep frozen-bubble
Debian/Games/Tetris-like/ menu-xdg-X-Debian-Games-Tetris-like-frozen-bubble.desktop /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/X-Debian-Games-Tetris-like-frozen-bubble.desktop

please note that i've submitted about 18 of those bugs,
the same information is relevant to all of them.

please note that this problem also exists for all the items under
debian->apps->emulators (non apears on the gnome menus)

debian->apps->databases shows hsqldb

debian->apps->graphics shows sodipodi, xcircuit (wrong place, anyhow), cinepaint, (not on the gnome menus)

debian->apps->math * doesn't show on the gnome-menu

debian->apps->programming is missing alot on the gnome-menu

sorry for being an asshat, and not providing this information in a
more organized way (one bug report per application, actually following the bug-reporting guidelines, etc..),
 there's just too many, an it's late.

there's more,

please note that i've uninstalled frozen-bubble while making the bug
report (i was doing some cleanups), so in order to run dpkg -l, i've
reinstalled it.
now it shows at the "games" menu, as well as the debian->games->tetris-like menu.

 dpkg -l frozen-bubble
