I would love to know this as well.
Ideally, I'd like to have "Movies" go to my library and "Videos" show my video-addons.

Well, here's what I have so far. it does call my plugin, but my default "Videos" now also points to my icefilms when I click it.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Check that your id # is unique, <item id="10"> usually belongs to your Movies selection

I double checked. it's unique.
I also noted this.....
I reboot.
menu is:
....
Videos
Ice films
......
Click on videos. videos shows what it should.
Click on icefilms. ice films shows what it should.
Click BACK on videos, videos now takes you to icefilms.
pretty weird.

I feel really stupid now, but I can't figure out how the heck this function is working. I have pointed out addons under the skin settings (addons->home page sub menu), but where in the home menu do I find them? I thought I'd simply get new items in my main menu...
This is on the latest git ppa package (20110926) under Ubuntu Natty.
