You can try to add an installed program using Menu editor.
If you cannot find the installed program on Menu editor, you use the following method. It is NOT a direct method to add an application to your menu, but it will work if do it properly. (actually, I know only this method). I think someone will comeup with the correct method.
Go to /usr/share/menu folder. You will see a list of files with their package names. First read the file named README.
Create a plain text document with the name of your installed package. Add some lines in this file similar to those you see on other files.(open other plain text files, eg: gedit, synaptic, and understand what is written there). Here is an example file.
eg: Create a file named gimp. Open it. Add these.
Quote:
?package(gimp):\
command="/usr/bin/gimp-2.2"\
icon="/usr/share/gimp/2.0/images/wilber-icon.png"\
needs="X11" \
section="Apps/Graphics"\
title="The GIMP"\
longtitle="Create or edit images or photographs"

The 'command' should point to the exact binary file. (/usr/bin/)
You can give an 'icon' if you like so. There are a lot of icons in /usr/share/pixmaps. You can add yourown icons also.
'sections' defines where should that package find place in your Menu. In this case it will be in Applications-->Graphics.
Give a 'title' you like.
The 'longtitle' gives a description of the package.
Try it out. It will not harm your system.
One more thing. You cannot add all packages that you install to menu like this. Some packages has only command line interface. You will have to know whether it has an X11 (GUI) interface.
Installed not seen in menu list
I'' check it !!
yeaah gpart was not my choice!!
