this is often a packager issue. eg desktop files are installed by a special app desktop-file-install

RH/Fedora rpm spec (suse is similar)

Requires(post): desktop-file-utils

%makeinstall

desktop-file-install --vendor fedora \
  --dir ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_datadir}/applications \
  --add-category X-Fedora \
 scribus.desktop

If you install scribus as a .deb package and there is no menu, then that is
a packaging bug IMO.

A review of the desktop spec file and a discussion this with malex leads me to think its best left alone, as then it would require patching all rpm based installs.

In your case, something is local. Try testing under another login.
