Hi,
I'm going to guess that you have the menu package installed, if so take a
look at :
/usr/share/doc/menu/html
that will explain how to get your menus all straight.
but for example, I use a version of rxvt that I've compiled myself, so in
~/.menu Ive put a file nameed rxvt with this in it:
?package(rxvt):needs="x11" section="XShells" \
longtitle="Rxvt: terminal emulator for X" title="Rxvt"\
command="/usr/local/bin/rxvt -bg black -sl 5000 -fg white -fn fixed
-vb"
then run update-menus, and I get a menu option under Xshells named Rxxt.
hth,
Jeff

If you select "Applications" in Alacarte, is "Visible" ticked for the
Crossover menu?

Actually, GNOME doesn't use the Debian menu system, it uses the
freedesktop.org menu specification.
