programmatically adding items to linux start menu


Hello all,
I am writing a new application for myself and also creating an installer for the application. I would want to add a shortcut for my application in the linux start menu bar (both kde and gnome). I would like to know how i can do this from within the installer without having to do it manually.

Thanks much for any suggestions.
