**Note:** All of the above requires at least qubes-core-vm \>= 2.1.2 installed in template.
Adding arbitrary programs to Disposable VM Application Menu
-----------------------------------------------------------
For added convenience, arbitrary programs can be added to the Application Menu of the Disposable VM. In order to do that `arbitrary.desktop` file has to be created in `/usr/share/applications` that file will point to the desired program. Use following template when creating a .desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=sh -c 'echo arbitrary | /usr/lib/qubes/qfile-daemon-dvm qubes.VMShell dom0 DEFAULT red
Icon=dispvm-red
Terminal=false
Name=DispVM: Arbitrary Name
GenericName=DispVM: Arbitrary Generic Name
StartupNotify=false
Categories=Network;X-Qubes-VM;
Next, the /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/qubes-dispvm.menu file has to be modified so that it points to our newly-created .desktop file.
Add `<Filename>arbitrary.desktop</Filename>` line to the `<Include></Include>` block. The modified file should look like this:
<Include>
<Filename>qubes-dispvm-firefox.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>qubes-dispvm-xterm.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>arbitrary.desktop</Filename>
</Include>
After saving the changes our program should appear under the Disposable VM Applications menu.
