I've created an additional .desktop file for my application in /usr/share/applications/ and it works well now:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=my_app_name
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/my.png
Exec=/usr/bin/my_app
Categories=Application;Network;
Terminal=false

Thx, but I cannot use lxmed, because I don't have java installed on my a very small thin client and no place to install java.
Is it any other way to edit config file manually?

You don't have to use lxmed. You can manually edit xfce-applications.menu and .desktop files, as the wiki explains.

Hi ccc, just saying, I could search but better you do it yourself directly. There have been several posts with the same issue (I answered one today, IIRC).
Try googling:
edit menu site:forum.xfce.org

or use the forum search (which works quite well).
