If you do not have the applications folder in .local/share, you must create
it manually or through the terminal as a normal user.
So, always through the terminal or manually, inside the folder you create
with the text editor an empty file where you copy this (changing the paths):
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.6
Comment=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=/<the path where is the file>/gambas3.gambas
Icon=/<the path where is the file/logo-ide>.png
Name=Gambas3
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
NoDisplay=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
And save it as gambas3.desktop.
You'll see an new entry to Mate's menu, see attached image.
Note: StartupNotify=true otherwise you will not see the mouse wait icon.
Regards
Gianluigi
