Keep in mine that I've had mine less than a day so my help may be "dubious" at best. <g> Click on Home at the top left of the main screen and then Select Applets. Check FM Radio. Try that.

I would suggest copying the 'desktop' file from /usr/share/applications/hildon/fmradio.desktop
to the directory: /etc/others-menu/extra_applications/
Hopefully that will do the trick.
[edit: hmm, looks like there is more to it that this...]

hmmm....
I'm currently accessing FM Radio via the xterm shell. Is there a way to just create a symbolic link from the Menu to the FM Radio bin?
I havent used linux in years, so my memory is rusty...

Or perhaps someone else who knows more will lend us their wisdom.

It changed the name of Mplayer in the menu system when I created the mplayer.desktop in usr/share/applications (it showed up as Media Player, which is what I named it as in the mplayer.desktop file, but still in the extras menu) and an update-desktop-database made it show up.

Hmmm...
All this is new to me - especially the "update-desktop-database" command.
tobiasj, did you copy the MPlayer.desktop file into your '/etc/others-menu/extra_applications/' in order to get MPlayer to show up in your menu?
I think I'm even more confused now hehe...
